COLOR TASTE TEXTURE is in hundreds of libraries all over the world.
Openly autistic written books published by one of the”bigs” for a largely neurodivergent audience is rare. When books like mine are pirated, it’s sending publishers the message we aren’t worth publishing.

Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.
If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

I was homeless and living in a shelter in 2019. I started writing and pitching stories from my shelter bunk. Was diagnosed Autistic and came up with the idea for COLOR TASTE TEXTURE. Had literary agents and my first Big5 publishing deal within 2 years from being homeless.

Thank you for writing it! In addition to the specifics, it helped our whole family learn to approach the issue without shame and frustration.

In response to the Aotearoa/NZ government’s racist attempts to smash down Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi, our high school is doubling down, creating and new Te Ao Māori program for next year and encouraging more te Reo. 💜

Wow. I’ve just read the most powerfully coming-out piece by a student. It was heartbreaking, but also filled with strength and family support.
This student is a hugely talented writer, and it’s a privilege to see them begin to recognise that.

Physical books, but I’ve started listening to audiobooks on my commute (a touch dangerous as I picture the scenes when I listen/read).
I often recommend audiobooks for students who struggle with reading /focus.

Let's talk about reading. Do you prefer physical books, audiobooks, Kindle/e-reader or some combination of one or more of the aforementioned formats?

Currently at and English Teachers’ conference and…I am genuinely horrified how chaotic the roll-out of the rushed new curriculum is. It’s not even fully designed or tested and we are supposed to start teacher it in February.
