Tales from the House of Bunnicula Series Activities

In the six Tales from the House of Bunnicula books, Howie, the wirehaired dachshund puppy from the Bunnicula series, alternates journal entries with chapters of far-fetched parodies of some of his favorite genres: horror, science fiction, time travel adventures, and superhero comic books. One book, Howie Monroe and the Doghouse of Doom, is a spoof of Harry Potter!

These downloadable activity sheets offer young writers the chance to have a good time with writing the way Howie does: through all kinds of word games and writing prompts and exercises. Who knew that writing could be so silly and so much fun!

School Visits and Speaking Appearances

I have enjoyed visiting schools all over the country for over forty years. I’ve made friends of many teachers and students, and have even met some of those same students years later who are now teachers themselves! But the time has come for me to focus my energies on my writing and other parts of my life. And so I have made the difficult decision to cut back on school visits and other speaking appearances. I will consider every request, however, so please inquire if you are interested.
