THE TREASURE OF OCEAN PARKWAY is out today!!!
TOOP is about a scavenger hunt and family secrets, finding buried treasure and navigating friendships all while trying to piece together clues. I hope that kids (and adults) find it page-turning, exciting and full of heart.

It’s a ⭐️STAR⭐️ for THE TREASURE OF OCEAN PARKWAY from School Library Journal & I couldn’t be more thrilled!! It’s been almost 10 years since my last starred review and to have this one for this book that challenged me so much as a writer and ended up being so personal to me is incredibly meaningful!

Ericka’s work is so special. I can’t wait to show you the MAGIC she’s created for book 2!
Some of the interior illustrations I did for @sarvenaztash.bsky.social 's Queen of Ocean Parkway last year. One of my fav projects to this day ^^ Finishing book 2 as we speak 👀

I’d love to know the logic behind a publisher doing a massive marketing campaign for a book series that has been on the bestseller list for a decade. What if that money was used to market 30 midlist authors instead? Or better yet, used for a “if you like this series, you’ll also like…” campaign?

This seriously just might be the coolest thing that’s ever happened in my entire author career. Check out all the amazingly fun and lovingly curated events Deschutes Public Library is having surrounding the themes and ideas of THE QUEEN OF OCEAN PARKWAY in the run-up to my author visit in April!

If this administration decides that legal residency means nothing, and naturalized citizenship means nothing, then how many people you know lose their “unalienable rights”? (I’m one of them)

My small act of resistance over the past month has been to lean into kindness & community. If I can help a neighbor, I will. If I can celebrate your identity, I will. If I can consume art that keeps me hopeful about our shared human experience & delighted in all the ways we differ too, I will.

14 years ago when I put up my author website for the first time, I had one book on there and now I have this many. Pretty cool to be able to look back at 15+ years of work in this tangible way.

This isn’t normal. I will never accept generalized lack of empathy for other people’s identities and experiences as normal. That is not how humans are designed to function.
