A Little Menagerie
(placed in the top 100 of the 2007 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest)


Signe Hansson has made one mistake after another-- wrong marriage, wrong career, and wrong student to befriend. After a student accuses her of sexual misconduct, Signe retreats with her son to a rural home where she surrounds herself with rescued animals; offers a dog obedience class; and forges friendships with the quirky dog owners. When a troubled neighbor threatens her, putting her animal and human friends at risk, Signe learns happiness doesn't come easily and isn't always what it seems. What will it take for Signe to finally make the right choices? A romance? Exposure of her past? A death?


Cages
(a middle grade novel)

Learning who you are at twelve is hard enough, but for Billie Erickson it seems impossible. Her mother is off meditating in Colorado, her father is traveling with his blues band, and Billie is stuck with her aunt on an organic vegetable farm in the middle of nowhereville, USA. To make matters worse, it looks like she’s going to have to start seventh grade at a new school.

 

Discovering a soda-pop drinking bear at Wild Al’s Animal Park helps Billie take her mind off her troubles. She also meets Puck, a dramatic, quirky, and wise-for-his-age boy, who challenges her to be herself. Together they embark on “Operation Animal Rescue” to save the bear and put Wild Al out of business.

 

Things get more complicated when school starts, and Billie is torn between her desire to fit in with other students and her friendship with Puck, who doesn’t mind that other kids think he’s weird. Her sudden popularity and a budding romance distract Billie from her important mission with Puck, and she makes a choice that leads to disastrous consequences. Ultimately, Billie learns about listening to her inner voice, daring to be different, and finding the courage to break out of the cages other people create.
