The physical ARCs have been claimed, but I have digital ones if you’re interested!

Four books into this whole publishing thing, and I FINALLY HAVE PHYSICAL ARCS!!! And they’re so pretty! 😍

I have a small number of copies available for #kidlit folks, so please lemme know if you’d like one. I’d love to get these into the hands of some ARC sharing groups!

It’s official! My Knives Out-inspired cozy mystery for kids hits shelves in February!

Best enjoyed in a decrepit Victorian mansion with a steaming mug of tea and a thunderstorm raging outside…

Cover reveal coming soon… πŸ‘€

I’m thrilled to announce that Trex is a Sunshine State Young Reader Award nominee for 2025-26! β˜€οΈ

What I love most about state lists is that they’re selected directly by teachers, librarians, and students, and this one is particularly special coming from my home state. What a tremendous honor! πŸ₯°

Two of my favorites in the same place!! Love to see it, but it’s unfair that I wasn’t there too.

It starts a little slow but once it picks up it’s soooooo good. It’s nerdy and beautiful.

Shout out to @christynewrites.bsky.social and her new book The Curse of the Dead Man's Diamond. My daughter and I loved this! So fun and spooky and unpredictable. And great for lovers of classical music, too. #kidlit #middlegrade

Congrats on your upcoming book! This was my merch for my first book, which includes the usual (bookmarks, stickers). But my favorite were the prologues I wrote and sewed as a pre-order incentive… took forever but they were popular

and last thing, if they have a favorite author, you can typically find signed copies of their books if you check their website/socials (that’s not merch but my 10yo loves signed/personalized items)

I also have a custom character plush that my husband commissioned from an etsy seller and it’s my favorite thing ever

It’s so much fun. Sometimes the noises and shiny lights are all that keep me at the computer.
