I'm not normally a negative Nellie but I'm not a fan of early darkness! I'll be counting down til it's time to put up the Christmas tree! I would love to get rid of the time change!

One of my favorite Hollywood stories is Pigeon: Impossible's weird path from indie short to major Disney release.

A Fox producer was trying to make his mark and find IP to adapt. He saw a fun short about a bird trying to steal a bagel and getting stuck in the nuclear football. He had to have it.

An award-winning animal action adventure, with all the sights, sounds and sensations of the great outdoors!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL LESBIAN DAY!!! From these two baby gays! (And from me 🌈👋🏻)

The Incorruptibles is a middle grade book (ages 10–14), so the romance is very sweet and wholesome and kid friendly. 🥰 Hope you give it a chance if you’re looking for inclusive fantasy boarding school books!

This is a FANTASTIC series!

Publication day is here! ✨

My children’s supernatural mystery novel, The Mystery of Smuggler’s Cavern, is out today!
