Last night, I had the honor of speaking at the Jefferson County Association for School Librarians Awards Banquet. I shared how librarians have guided my path as an author. I’m grateful to each of you for all that you do.
Happy National Library Week!

I came upon The Trinigee while looking for gifts. My 1st purchase was a sweatshirt with images hairstyles. Currently, I have a T-shirt with a photo of Black kids @ a bookmobile. The Trinigee has everything, check them out!
