I’ve been doodling little book characters like this guy here for almost a decade now, and I’ve only just recently, FINALLY figured out a universe to make some stories about them in. Hoping it all goes somewhere.

A great review from Publishers Weekly for Saved by the Smell, the first installment of my upcoming chapter book series, My Mad Scientist Mom! You can preorder the book, as well as the second book in the series—No More Mr. Mice Guy—anywhere books are sold.

I’m thrilled to share that Welcome to Scare School has made it onto BookPal’s OWL Award shortlist! It’s now in the running for the award with just two other books. OWL stands for “Outstanding Works of Literature.” Also “Oh dang this is Wicked cooL.” THANKS, BookPal!

Day 5 of 20 books that influenced and inspired me with no explanation (okay, maybe some explanation in the comments)

Shawn! Thank you so much, man. This all means a tremendous amount to me. Truly. 🙌

Today my daughter’s teacher sent me this picture of her (my daughter) reading one of my books to one of her classmates. 💛💛💛

Thank you!

Do you have a NetGalley account? If so, you can now request a review copy of Saved by the Smell, the first book in my upcoming My Mad Scientist Mom series of illustrated chapter books. The book publishes on March 4th, 2025, but can be preordered today wherever books are sold.

Here are the covers of the first two books in my next illustrated chapter book series, My Mad Scientist Mom! Book 1 comes out March 4, 2025. Book 2 comes out July 1, 2025. Both are packed full of humor, heart, and mad science-y shenanigans, and are now available for preorder wherever books are sold!

Thank you so much, Colleen! I’m so happy to hear it. I really appreciate your sharing my books with your readers!

I can't keep this one in our LC and I have kids asking every day when I'm getting the next one since I told them there's another! @jarrett-lerner.bsky.social #mglit
