Happy to join the #kidlit community on BlueSky! I'm the author of GOODBYE, MR. SPALDING and excited for my next MG novel, THUNDER AND MERCY, coming Fall 2026. It's a tale of unfinished business, secret identities, found families, and a mystery tied to the legendary Agent 355 of the Culper Spy Ring.📚
