Tomorrow, August 26 is the drop date for my new book, CRYPTID SEA MONSTERS: A FIELD GUIDE. I've profiled 50 eyewitness stories and each one has three Rick Spears illustrations to bring the creatures to life. Sea, lake and river monsters I love. I hope you'll love them, too!

I'm so lucky to know that Chloe from Scotland loves my cryptid books. She has another one headed her way, along with a bunch of silly cryptid toys and such, too. Thank you, Chloe. You are my inspiration.

I've had so much fun in December and January, doing school visits in Spokane and Mead, WA. THANK YOU, all the people who made it possible. I'm so grateful!
This picture is from Jefferson Elementary's STEM night, where Auntie's (thanks to Ness, my youngest) sold books.

Tonight, I'll be at Jefferson Elementary's STEM night, right here in Spokane. Hope to see you there! Auntie's will be selling a few of my books. The photo is from my school visit at Jefferson in November. I love this school!

In 2006, TALES OF THE CRYPTIDS was published in hardback only. Today, the hardback is discontinued, but the paperback will make it affordable for more young readers. I couldn't be more thrilled. Available now!
