My path has meandered from research institutes to advertising to storytelling, driven by one constant: curiosity about what makes us tick. Something, my dog seemed always to grasp much better than I did.

While originally attracted to science, I was increasingly fascinated by the deeper human mysteries: the complexities of relationships, the nature of friendship, and our peculiar ability to nurture or destroy the very connections we crave.

The Little Hunterman series began with letters about my Parson Russell terrier, Hunter, whose recent passing has distressed me immensely. Through his eyes, I discovered surprising new ways to explore human nature. His perspective on life—ethical, loving, sometimes puzzled but always genuine—opened windows I never expected to find.

I now work on two kinds of stories: Little Hunterman's illustrated world and mystery novels for Flynn and myself. Different approaches, same fascination: understanding who we are beneath the surface.
