about

Doing research at theJames Farm in Kearney, MO

I'm a young adult writer and history nerd represented by the lovely and brilliant Michelle Andelman of Regal Literary.

My husband and I build treehouses, and on Fridays I write the round up at YA Highway. I have two little boys, an oversized garden, and a fairly strong Southern accent. There's an incomplete list of books I've liked here.

You can contact me at k d h a r t 2 2 6 at gmail dot com, or on Twitter, Tumblr, or Goodreads.
