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.

Last Sunday I was privileged to be invited to my cousin Sadie's outdoor wedding up in Wisconsin. The skies were blue and the temperatures were in the low 70s. Most of my family was there so that made it the best weekend adventure I've had for a while. Big congratulations to Sadie and Cooper Hletko!
