My book birthday was a dream. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to those who helped me welcome THE STITCHERS into the world. 
Here are a few images from my release day. 

Hi friends!
The release of THE STITCHERS is fast approaching - I can't believe it's almost here! Please join me in conversation with Shannon Doleski for a fun, spooky launch party. Of course, it's free and virtual. There will be a costume contest and a goodies giveaway, including a signed book. To join, just click on the Eventbrite link and sign up. On Tuesday I will send an email to everyone with the Zoom link.
​Hope to see you there!

Hi friends! 
If you follow me on social media, you probably saw me posting about the Middle Ground Book Fest: a festival I co-founded and helped organize that is meant to celebrate the middle grade reader. I'm incredibly proud of this festival, and all of the videos are available on YouTube for the whole year. So if you haven't had a chance to watch any, you still have plenty of time to check them out! Below is the welcome video from myself and the other organizers, my friends Shannon Doleski, Tanya Guerrero, and Janae Marks. You can find the rest of our panels and mini-lessons on www.middlegroundbookfest.com
