I write about history for readers of all ages. My books for young people help upper elementary, middle school, and high school students discover the drama and significance of stories from history that may barely be presented in their textbooks. My goal is to make history relevant, engaging, alive, and irresistible. In 2015 my adopted home state named me the year's Notable Wisconsin Children's Author. Two years later the body of my work received national recognition with the Nonfiction Award of the Children's Book Guild of Washington, D.C.
On my website you can find out more about me, my award-winning books, and my process of writing nonfiction. You may also contact me for information on author visits and other questions you have about my work.
MY NEWEST TITLE, White Lies: How the South Lost the Civil War, Then Rewrote the History, debuted on August 12, 2025, with an unprecedented six starred reviews. Although I wrote White Lies especially for teen readers, adults will be equally fascinating by this timely exposé of the Lost Cause, a warped account of history that emerged in the former Confederacy after the Civil War. Lies from the Lost Cause still influence our culture, commemorative landscape, political divisions, understanding of the past, and debates over how to teach our nation's history.
