Month: July 2023

I’m starting a mailing list to send out author updates, fun activity ideas, and prizes! Not through your email, through the actual, real snail mail! Postcards!

Want to get a quarterly postcard from me for yourself, your kids, your students, your guinea pig? Sign up using the form below. Also, each postcard is also a subscriber giveaway. I’ll choose one person on my mailing list each quarter to send a signed book to. (Mine or someone else’s. I get them at my favorite conference!) So sign up!

My next middle grade novel, Once Upon a Family, is publishing on August 1st! And I’m doing a few author events to celebrate! Here is what I have lined up so far. I’m working on getting something set up in California soon.

The Hope of Elephants came out last September and it has earned some great recognition!
