Four books into this whole publishing thing, and I FINALLY HAVE PHYSICAL ARCS!!! And they’re so pretty! 😍 I have a small number of copies available for #kidlit folks, so please lemme know if you’d like one. I’d love to get these into the hands of some ARC sharing groups!

✨🗝️ COVER REVEAL! 🗝️✨ So grateful for another gorgeous cover by @nummy.illustrator! 😍 A shocking crime, a house full of suspects, and a clever young detective collide in my new MG mystery. THE CASE OF THE SCARLET SNAKEBITE comes out February 2026. 🐍 Preorder now: bit.ly/thecaseofthe....

It’s official! My Knives Out-inspired cozy mystery for kids hits shelves in February! Best enjoyed in a decrepit Victorian mansion with a steaming mug of tea and a thunderstorm raging outside… Cover reveal coming soon… 👀 @randomhousekids.bsky.social

I’m thrilled to announce that Trex is a Sunshine State Young Reader Award nominee for 2025-26! ☀️ What I love most about state lists is that they’re selected directly by teachers, librarians, and students, and this one is particularly special coming from my home state. What a tremendous honor! 🥰

Two of my favorites in the same place!! Love to see it, but it’s unfair that I wasn’t there too.

Shout out to @christynewrites.bsky.social and her new book The Curse of the Dead Man's Diamond. My daughter and I loved this! So fun and spooky and unpredictable. And great for lovers of classical music, too. #kidlit #middlegrade

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Kidlit writer: the cup is a portal to an epic adventure. And also, your parents are dead.

The 10yo insisted on a poop emoji cake for her birthday and used the leftovers to make very realistic “cake poops” Fast forward to 10pm, mid-sleepover, and the girls are screaming that the dog pooped in the living room. OR he got hold of a cake poop 🤔 Thus began the worst game of Is It Cake? ever

Hey Bluesky 👋 I hear this is where all the writers are hanging out now? I write middle grade novels and am attempting an adult mystery. This is me with my latest release, CURSE OF THE DEAD MAN’S DIAMOND👇. Please say hi so I feel less awkward! #kidlit #writingcommunity
