Aunt Mattie and Uncle Philbert on Motorcycle

Aunt Mattie & Uncle Philbert's Website
Yes, the irascible eccentrics from the books No More Nice, No More Nasty, and Too Much Flapdoodle have their own website!

VISIT their Website.

Too Much Flapdoodle

Too Much Flapdoodle
The 3rd book in the No More Nice, No More Nasty has been released!

In Too Much Flapdoodle, Simon's spoiled cousin Parker decides he'd rather spend the summer with his flakey Great Aunt and Uncle than at some dumb computer camp. But once he gets there he discovers he can't get any of his favorite toys to work: he's in a cell phone, video-game, Internet black hole. He doesn't have time to sulk, however, because someone is trying to force his Great Uncle Philbert to sell his farm, Aunt Mattie mysteriously disappears, and Parker has to come to the rescue.

And those of you who have been waiting for Nasty to come out in paperback, your wait is over, too! What could be...nicer? Find out more...No More Nice, No More Nasty.

Other News

I hope there will be something for everyone in this site - kids, teachers, and parents.

For kids and parents, there is background information on me and each of my books, telling how I came to write them. And Writing Tips for kids who like to write. A new Frequently Asked Questions section is designed for kids and parents who want to publish their work.

Teachers will find a Classroom Activities link on each of my book pages. These activities were created by me or by teachers for use with my books and passed on to me. (If you have created similar activities, please email them to me - I'd be happy to post them on the site.) There's a new Frequently Asked Questions section for student and adult writers. And there's ample information about school visits, how to arrange them, and my touring schedule; more detailed biographical information; and I've just added a few Good Links to other resources for teachers, writers, and students.
