About

I am someone who has always enjoyed reading since I was a child.  I can still remember going to the library and checking out as many books I could and reading half of them on the way home.   College is when I started to realize how much I enjoyed creative writing. Many of my essays tuned into creative pieces (much to the dismay of my teachers). I would always focus on creative titles and themes, and pictures/logos that could one day accompany a story. It wasn’t until taking a creative writing class was I able to really express myself and feel the joy of writing. Years later and one daughter later i decided to start writing stories for.

My goal with this site is to not have children read fewer books or to replace books but a chance for them to be able to read more. 

A site where children can come and read instantly and are excited to see new stories added. A place to ask their favorite character questions and see what they are up to. A site parents can go to and read to their children where ever they are.  Even if this site is able to put a smile even on one child, that’s more than I could ever have dreamed.

The Rittenhouse Mouse is a place to learn, a place to laugh, and a place to make a connection.

This site is a work in progress as I continue to add more stories and artwork and encourage your suggestions.

About the illustrator

When I started this page i was able to put up a few sketches and pictures of my own but just wasn’t able to capture the essence I wanted in bringing the stories to life. That is when I enlisted the help of Yenna.
