Ghosts are messing up the Hollow. Young Iggy Crane wonโ€™t stand for it. She is after all a detective in the making.

Except this ghost has an agenda to make the Cranes pay by destroying everyone they love including their beloved town.

*inspired by Sleepy Hollow

Who wants a picture book mentor?

#PBRisingStars is such an amazing program. All mentors are open to unagented creators & some will consider agented ones, too.

Definitely check it out! #PBParty gets so many incredible entries from past PB Rising Stars mentees each year.

You two are going to have an amazing time. I love seeing writers support other writers.

I found it easier to write when my little was a baby. She is two now and itโ€™s a bit harder. I donโ€™t get as much done. I do manage to squeeze some writing in during independent play.

Iโ€™m feeling SM fatigue. I miss having a solid place to talk with other writers.

Do you re-read books?

๐Ÿ“šYes, all the time.
๐Ÿ“• Sometimes, limited to 1-2 favourite titles.
๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ No, too many new books to read.
