How lovely to receive good news. Mail-Order Monsters: Crash Course has advanced to the short list of the Gertrude Warner Awards for middle grade fiction. Whether it advances further or not, I’m grateful for the support.

Five stars from Reader Views! So thankful, as reviews help others learn about a title and whether it's their jam.

If you ever want to leave a review, remember, don't assign yourself a book report. A single sentence on how/why you liked the story is perfect. Thanks from authors everywhere. <3

The Morning Blend

My hubby and I had a very fun time being interviewed (if a jokey chat can be called that) on The Morning Blend. The background was awesome, highlighting Jeff's art (@jeffmiracola.com), and Molly and Tiffany are a hoot. Enjoy. www.tmj4.com/shows/the-mo...

Hey friends! Today is RELEASE DAY for my latest book, MAIL-ORDER MONSTERS: CRASH COURSE, the story of a ten-year-old boy who’s so desperate for a new best friend that he orders monsters from an ad in the back of an old comic book. Best for ages 7-12. There’s even a little Spanish sprinkled within.

Got my proof copies of MAIL-ORDER MONSTERS: CRASH COURSE, and they look GREAT! It's the story of a ten-year-old boy desperate for a new best friend who orders monsters from an ad in the back of an old comic book. Dives into friendship breakups and makeups. Kirkus Reviews’s verdict is to get it! 💛

Is the red tape our copyright protections?

8 months ago 2 0 0 0

I think it’s the best you can hope for. But lawsuits do warn thieves that you’ll vigorously protect your copyright. Not that you should HAVE to. Grrrr. 😡

Omg how dreadful 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope you lawyer up to clear the record and discourage this sort of theft in the future. UGH!!! 😡

THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA comes out tomorrow 7/15/25 in paperback! Not all hardcovers make it to paperback, so this is exciting stuff: lower price, a bendable format, & perfect ahead of the upcoming Spooky Season. Available anywhere books are sold, but I'll add a link to my local indie. 💙

Creeping bellflower grows runners that can sprout new shoots pretty far from the original plant. It’s considered invasive, suffocating to other plants, and hard to eradicate. Having said that, I like them and don’t make any effort to remove them. My gardens still seems fine.
