HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON! I've got three books out in the world that you can get your hot little hands on. They are great for kiddos ages 10-14 (but there are SECRET messages for older people). It would be SUPER COOL if you ordered them from your local indie bookstore!

Because of *gestures at government*, I would like to take a moment to remind you about this book that I wrote that is coming out May 27, 2025. It has a protagonist, Piper, who uses neopronouns... but that isn't the focus of GOING OVERBOARD. It's just a small fact of zer existence.

If you're in Boston attending #NCTE, may I suggest you stop by this panel tomorrow afternoon. We're talking about practical strategies for bringing diverse YA and MG literature into classrooms -- a topic that feels particular critical as we prepare to go into a new year.

My third MG, GOING OVERBOARD, is about a pair of 6th graders trying to break up their dating parents while on a joint family cruise. The protagonist, Piper, is nonbinary and uses neopronouns (ze/zir/zem).

If you're starting to look to the new year and imagining what great #kidlit is to come, I'll throw my book into the mix.

GOING OVERBOARD is a reverse-Parent Trap story ("let's break the parents up!") on a cruise, with queer leads.

There's too many social medias, so I forgot to share that I have another book coming out in 2025. PIPER GOES OVERBOARD is the story of an enby eleven year old who is desperate to break up zir mom and her girlfriend, even it if means teaming up with an enemy. Think of it as a reverse Parent Trap.
