This is my kidlit and nonfiction account! More to come soon, I promise.
I just signed a very exciting thing! Even took a photo of me e-signing this shiny thing...that might be in the shape of a contract.

Will share the full photo once I can announce what the thing is. For now, here's just my eyes smiling...a.k.a. the photo version of the 👀 emoji 😉

A new YA nonfiction book proposal is winging its way into the world. Mushrooms, meet the moon 👀🌛🍄

Did I mention I have a 👀👀👀👀👀👀?

Hope to be able to share with you all soon!!!

I told 18 about a 👀👀👀 thing and she said, "Yay! That's only a few years away!" 😅

She was being completely unironic; she's familiar with the pace of publishing.

And it IS a huge yay! And only 18 months away akshully. 💜

Handle changed! New @, same me. Why the pen name change? Because I'll be writing kidlit under the same name my dissertation was published under, for reasons I hope to be able to share with you soon 👀

Hoping some magical soup from my chapter book series will be on the menu in the near future.
