I have finished what feels like the millionth round of revisions on my #histfic novel Down the Creek at Low Tide. It’s a fictional version of my family’s history on Cumberland Island. I’m ready to dive back into the query trenches this fall! #amquerying

Thankful to talk about a wonderful children’s book this week at the Children’s Lit Association conference! Children’s lit gives me such hope during these stressful times! 💕
