My friends and family have long accused me of being an arrested adolescent, and this is probably self-evident if you've spent any time browsing this website.
I have always been fascinated with the fantastic and the mysterious — and with telling stories through both words and images. When I was a child, I drew my own comic books and created animated films with my Star Wars action figures and my grandfather's old 8mm camera.
I've been writing since elementary school, and in 2013 created my own imprint Laughing Boy Books and I published my first young adult novel, His Life Abiding. Since then, I've added The Men in the Trees (2014), My Summer (with Robots) (2018), and My Summer (Under a Crescent Moon) (2021).
In 2022, I edited my first nonfiction work, The River Years: A Memoir from the Muddy Banks of Lee's Ferry which was was written by my late mother, Dawn Myers.
My current work in progress is My Summer (and the Song of Cicadas), the third book in the Quinton's Curious Mind YA series. This novel is scheduled for publication in 2024.
In 2023 I fulfilled a lifelong dream of having my own bookstore called Laughing Boy Books. (Okay, it's a virtual store but still...) This new venture has allowed me to put specific book and product recommendations alongside many of the features on this website as an affiliate for Bookshop.org.
When I'm not writing, I can be found wandering the aisles of book stores and comic book shops, drawing or building models, or exploring Oregon's back roads. Follow me on my socials to share.
