My book Grimstink is officially out today so I made this slick marketing video

The @paperboundmag.bsky.social team keeps raising the bar. This new issue is STUNNING! I loved reviewing the latest YA – Live – from uber-talented writer and poet Luke Palmer. Music, 3D characters, a propulsive plot, and important themes. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me sing.

Are you looking for something new to read this summer? There are plenty of MG and YA #bookreviews in the new issue of PaperBound, which is totally free to download here: PaperBoundMag.com/issues
