I haven’t been on here for ages so it was so lovely to read your blog post! Thank you for sharing!

Where We Come From Some time ago, I read The Art of Talking with Children by Rebecca Rolland, and, as a parent of a teen, this quote stood out to me: “Teens and preteens who know more about their family history show …

Thank you so much!

Ahhh this makes me so happy! I am so honored to be on the longlist for MG/YA for the 2025 Pedro and Daniel Intersectionality Book Awards! Thank you so much @federicoerebia.bsky.social and Read Your World!

Thanks! We will see. It’s middle grade, which hasn’t been doing well recently

Just sent off pages to my agent for a contemporary MG novel that I've been working on and off since like 2010. It's been such a long journey, and the book has changed in lots of ways, but maybe one day, it'll get published and then I can be like huzzzahhhhhh. Don't give up on your dreams, peeps.

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

That’s awesome! The self publishing realm is a different world than traditional published. I have two traditional publishers books and it’s always been my lifelong goal to be traditional published.

As an author, do you ever feel like not an imposter? Sent off some pages to my agent and I’m just waiting for her to tell me I suck at writing 😂

That’s good! I read online that like 200 miles of interstate are closed starting in buffalo and I was like yikes

Wow my five year old is teaching me slang. I’m old 😂

Hoping you don’t have to go anywhere
