Two Nebraska authors and a lot of hope. Sending messages of support to librarians across the state!

Another wonderful trade review!
This is what I hoped for when we my agent and I tried to sell the proposal years ago. Got ghosted by several editors. I will never know why but hey—the book found a home with a brilliant editor who understood my vision. I couldn’t be prouder.

Been flying a lot these last few years, often twice a month.
Yes, I’m that person taking pictures in the air plane like it’s my first flight. Glad I haven’t lost my wonder over these views.
