🚐 Book #3: Tommy the Squirrel Goes to Michigan

Spring has arrived, and Tommy is ready for new adventures! When curiosity leads him into an unexpected RV trip, Tommy finds himself far from Cypress Lake—and even farther from home.

💛 This story highlights:

Adventure and discovery
The pull of home and family
Friendship and resilience

“I love stories that teach kids important values in a gentle way. Tommy is becoming a household favorite. My daughter asked me to read it twice in one night!”

Karen L West

Writer of Fantasy, Shifters, Apocalyptic, Space Fiction

I write stories for readers who love adventure, survival, transformation, and hope — no matter the world the story takes place in. My books span fantasy, science fiction, apocalyptic and end‑of‑the‑world stories, shifter tales, and young adult adventures. What connects them all is a focus on characters pushed to their limits, unexpected bonds, and the choices people make when the rules of their world change — or disappear entirely. Whatever the genre my stories fall into, my goal is always the same: to tell immersive, emotionally grounded stories where courage, loyalty, and resilience matter. Living in the Southwest, I continue to write stories that blend imagination with realism, danger with hope, and adventure with heart.
