New review for SPELLING IT OUT up at PW. Of all the books I’ve written, this one is my husband’s favorite. I think it’s because he is introspective and stays true to himself. It’s available May, 13.

What inspires more #delight than a video of a dog? A video of a dog opening a box full of books. In this case, the box is full of my author copies of SPELLING IT OUT, which drops May 13, 2025. If you like, spelling, and nerds, and funny kids, full of heart, you’re gonna like this book.

Do you know what is not a #delight? Grading 8 million papers. But strawberry shortcake? Now that is a delight!

Some places in Southern California have peacocks. My neighborhood does not, but guess what I saw walking? #Delight

Actually, you would not be dead if you were in my novel right now. I am too much of a softy to kill people off in my books. How about you?

Can you read the writing in the concrete? It says I best I don’t love Jeannette. There’s a story there. What do you think it is?
