Thanks to PJ Gardner for interviewing @adriannacuevas.bsky.social and me on @scbwi.bsky.social's blog about debuting our middle grade books during the pandemic -- the good and the not-so-good. You'll be surprised as to which there was more of!

Happy 3rd Book/2nd #AudioBook Birthday to Ready or Not, #2 in my magical, #middlegrade trilogy, spotlighting a 13yo facing a tricky real-life choice: stand up to bigotry or let fear hold him back. Wherever books R sold.
