On Friday, I was honored to have an author table at the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association Conference in Erie. I met a lot of school librarians passionate about their students. Many were interested and wanted to check out my books to see if they would be a good fit for their students.

It’s a nice change of pace to go to Starbucks and just read instead of write.

Done with the main draft of TOMORROW ALMOST DIES, the eighth book in the Gems series. More retouches and a quick pass before it goes to my beta reader for story analysis and feedback.

I have all my ebooks on Hoopla so you can always download them for free through your local library AND I still get paid for the download. Please don’t support websites that are illegally posting our work. Not having the money is no excuse for not having access to good books.📕 📖
