Trade:
The editors at Parachute Press contacted me about writing two books for R.L.Stine. Go To Your Tomb Right Now and Three Evil Wishes were both free-lance projects. I actually enjoy the quick pace of these writing projects! My book Kidding Around Chicago was a free-lance project as well.

Short Stories:
My story, Fun With Spelling, appeared in the collection More and More Tales to Give You Goosebumps. I've written many projects for Publications International, including 6 scary short stories for their book, Super Sleepovers. I also wrote a few chapters for their craft and activity book, Family Fun Guide.

Magazines:
Many of my craft, game, and activity ideas have been published in American Girl. I also wrote all the games for their Tropical Party Kit guide and their Fifties Sock Hop guide. My short stories have appeared in Highlights and Child Life.
