Creator of the Kitten Kaboodle Detective Agency series
Hawai‘i-based children’s author · Retired RN · Lover of mysteries, animals & imagination
I love visiting classrooms—both in person and online—to share the joy of reading, storytelling, and of course, talking about Moki, Malia, and the superpowered animals of the Hawaiian jungle!
My visits are warm, kid-friendly, and tailored to each class. Whether students are curious about how books are made, how characters come alive, or how a tiny cat detective solves big mysteries, I’m always delighted to spark their imaginations.
Perfect for teachers who want an easy, engaging session without logistics.
