Creator Q&A
Tell us about yourself
I'm a second-generation homeschooler, D&D enthusiast, and player of complicated board games. I write funny books for Christian kids that have great messages without mature content.
As a busy mom of young twins, audiobooks are a great way for me to enjoy stories as I keep up with daily chores. I am delighted to be able to offer the same audio experience for the readers (and listeners!) of my books.
What inspired you to make this title(s)?
The very first prototype of Collar Cases #1 was a homemade birthday present I created for a young friend many years ago--complete with rudimentary illustrations!
Fast forward 15 years, a lot of business education, improvements to the story, and professional editing, art, and narration... and you get the Collar Cases Universe of today!
"I wrote these books for Christian kids who want characters so real they feel like friends; lots of laughs and crazy shenanigans; and some old-fashioned sleuthing to boot"
Who do you imagine listening to your audio?
I wrote these books for Christian kids ages 7-13 who want characters so real they feel like friends; lots of laughs and crazy shenanigans; and some old-fashioned sleuthing to boot.
Is there anything different about making audio for Yoto?
My relationship with Yoto began under difficult circumstances. My husband's dear mother was losing her fight with cancer. We knew she would pass while our twins were still very young. I wanted to preserve her voice and memories so our kids could experience them indefinitely.
Once I discovered Yoto and their MYO capabilities, it was an instant purchase. I was able to record about a dozen special memories with Mom Trumpower before she passed. Now, we are using MYO capability to record memories from other family members.
I am so grateful to this company for creating an ad-free, internet-free, totally-controlable media player that children can operate independently. It is an absolute honor to offer my audiobooks for other Yoto families to enjoy.
What’s next?
At the time of this writing, I am producing Collar Cases #5 and planning Power Pup #4!
