Just finished reading @erindowning.bsky.social’s newest MG book, What Happened Then. Wow! What a ride! This is Erin’s first mystery and she really nailed it! Looking for a good read that keeps you turning the pages, check it out in September.

My @writersdigest.bsky.social essay went live!!!! It’s all about walking that tonal balance between darkness and light, especially in middle grade fiction—how to find the hopeful note in the face of insurmountable odds 💜.

I'm grateful the school purchased 238 copies of Louder Than Hunger. Every copy was given away to students and teachers!!!
It will take me a bit to fully process today. I returned to Oak Forest HS today for a school visit. The high school Jake attends in Louder Than Hunger. The high school I graduated from in 1999. It was an AMAZING day! It was an emotional day! Thank you, students, @bookdropdead.bsky.social, & Amanda!

Got to visit my buddies at @dragonflybooks.bsky.social for a couple days of school visits (now I’m elsewhere in IA). LOVE the way they have their chapter book series displayed!

the saving grace of parents isolated at home with small children. a place for air conditioning when your power goes out. a place to print out your resumé and get tax forms. a place to borrow tools or get access to job skill training. libraries are true bastions of equality and access.

Wow! What a wild ride! The Girls in the Walls is a middle grade novel in verse unlike about I’ve ever read. I’m so excited to see what kids think about this one. Watching this family try to navigate generations of trauma is both heart breaking and captivating. Highly recommend! Book drops 5/20/25.

My first book, The Fossil Keeper’s Treasure, is out now! It’s illustrated by the amazing Nat Cardozo. Each page features embossed fossils you can touch.

Every fossil tells a story, and every scientist started out as a curious kid.

I can’t believe it’s finally here!
