Hi! I’m Tricia

Sometimes, you just have to laugh.

I enjoy writing books and poetry for children, and I strongly believe that children need laughter. Naturally, I attempt to fill this need, one pun at a time! When I’m not causing eyerolls or giggles, you might find me hiking, watching science documentaries, or searching for four-leaf clovers. I live in North Carolina with my husband and three kids, or as I like to call them, my “Adorable Torribles.”

Poetry holds a special place in my heart, and you can find several of my poems in anthologies and magazines, as well as in my latest collection. To me, poetry is a dance between words. Each syllable has to take the right step, working with and balancing others, ultimately coming together to create a story or feeling. I am driven by this challenge and love being the choreographer of this dance!
