Though not technically a "ghost" story, THE FRAGILITY OF SEASHELLS delves into dark family secrets and the consequences of obsessions... set on a remote island off the coast of Maine. Will Esidora discover the truth, before it's too late? 🌊🐚

Went on a field trip this weekend to one of the locations for my speculative fiction WIP. It really helped to ground my protagonist--I'd definitely recommend this strategy. (Bonus--it was a gorgeous day for a ride here in Maine!) 🍂🌲

It's Banned Book Week... so consequential, especially now. 📚

I loved Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books--it gave me the courage to strengthen revisions in my "Rabbit Hole" novel.

By happy accident (it's YA not Adult), I picked up Samira Ahmed's amazing "This Book Won't Burn." I'd definitely recommend it for anyone- of any age- who advocates for the incredible power of books. 📚
So timely... especially now!
