I'm Cortney, a picture book author and founder of Whimspire Books. My inspiration for writing primarily comes from the three little muses who call me “Mom.” They entertain me daily with their banter and boundless imagination. Most days, I navigate the world of life sciences marketing. Most nights, I embark on whimsical journeys through storytelling. I strive to craft picture books that foster imagination and fuel confidence in young minds (and their grown-ups). Beyond my picture books, you might have stumbled upon my words in HuffPost or various marketing articles. When I'm not at my desk, you'll find me running on California's scenic trails or exploring new places with my family.
