(Honest!)
Look to me for stories that spark joy, inspire giggles, and help kids feel seen.
You might know me as the award-winning author of the 2025 Devotional of the Year for my Mommy and Me Micro-Moments: Nurturing Faith, Sharing Laughs. Maybe you’re familiar with one of the 26 other (award-winning!) books for children I’ve written? I have two more picture books coming up, but you couldn’t haven’t read them yet. [I’ve also ghostwritten a bunch, but can’t tell you which. Shhh.] Maybe you saw me on CNN? Heard me on CBS National radio or in the hundreds of media outlets across the US? Maybe you’ve been at an author event or one of the dozens of writer conferences where I’ve presented? Why, maybe you’ve driven by me on the freeway and didn’t even know it!
Regardless, it’s nice to virtually meet you.

Quick Author Background
[For both a short and a way too long bio version, go to Bio page.]
Let’s just say I’m not shy. Never have been, not since playing the lead bunny in the third grade, at least. Being the youngest of five will do that to a kid. It’s called survival! You gotta stand out or the pizza will be all gone before you even sit at the table.
As alluded to above, you may have seen me on CNN (twice) or on one of my regular local morning TV segments in Sacramento, Portland, Phoenix, or Albuquerque. You could have heard me on national or local radio. Or read the syndicated newspaper column I co-wrote for five years. Perhaps you’ve seen one of the literally hundreds of articles I either wrote or was quoted in (like in Writing Children’s Books for Dummies, Working Mother magazine, California Kids!, Investor’s Business Daily, blah blah…) There is a more extensive list of places I’ve been quoted in or seen at, here, but that’s really just a sampling. I mean, I’m chatty. And a bit bold.
As an author, my most popular title is the fun interactive prayer book I’ve written for moms to do with their kids. The multi-award-winning, 2025 Devotional of the Year Mommy and Me Micro-Moments: Nurturing Faith, Sharing Laughs is unlike anything you’ve seen! This part devotional, part journal, part baby book captures precious “micro-moments” in time that you’d otherwise miss, ignore, or forget. And, the family ends up with a cherished keepsake when you’re done! Even if you or the mom you’re thinking about is not a fan of prayer, the activities can all be done on their own, and I promise you’ll have a laugh. Check it out!
I’ve also got 12 picture books, 7 NF chapter books & 3 YA titles with traditional publishers like Lerner and Rosen. Under the pen name Andrea Lane, I’ve got five whimsical coloring/activity books for kids and “Recipes from Grandma” for kids to fill out with their grandparents, with details that capture historical family events and gatherings.
But wait…there’s more! Two more new picture books are coming in 2026 and 2027 with The Little Press that are dedicated to my own grandparents. This is a preview of the first one!
My Bio page has lots more detail on me, and the books.
I’d like to think that when it comes to stories that spark joy, inspire giggles, and help kids feel seen, odds are it’s a Bitsy Kemper book.
