Excited to be a Children’s Media Association mentor for the first time! After being a mentee and a volunteer in past years, it’ll be fun to help a newcomer grow as a kids’ screenwriter!
Thanks to CMA for inviting me!

Happy Valentine’s Day, all! 💕🍰 You know how much I love to bake, so I made a traditional Waldorf red velvet cake with ermine frosting for the occasion.
Partly, yes. Dual protagonists : an 8 year old girl and a talking cat.
That’s so sweet of you. Thank you!
“I led them around the corner to reveal tables and shelves well stocked with many cured meats, drying herbs dangling from above, wheels of cheese, preserved fruits and vegetables, and a jar of crackers.”
An excerpt from my 12k chapter book:
THE CAT OF VERSAILLES

"The Moonhighers honored the same tradition as The Hollow; that dessert was not a course that came after dinner, but a part of the meal itself. This meant that you could feast on chocolate cake and roast beef at the same time, as nature had intended."

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.
CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END
When their detective friend is murdered at their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

It totally works if you do a script that’s a hot take on a public domain IP as a portfolio sample. Like, think how many popular shows and films are just a well known character but younger/older, or a story focused on what’s usually a sidekick or villain or whatever.
Felt like a good day to bake another random chocolate cake 🍰
I just scheduled an email for tomorrow sending a query and my #kidlit chapter book manuscript (based on my best kids’ TV pilot) to an editor at Penguin Young Readers as my submission for the Emerging Voices and Visions program. Wish me luck!🍀
Still here! I’m five out of those 10 things, lol. I think I attended a panel of yours at either WonderCon or ComicCon a bunch of years ago and that’s why I started following.
First baking experiment of the year: apple cinnamon rolls!
