Surprise! I'm at the Newton Children's Book Festival today with Fiona and the Forgotten Piano. Come say hi!

Subs open for my Untitled Water Anthology on November 8th and all proceeds from this project will benefit Black Kids Swim. Find all the details at wild-ink-publishing.com/anthologysub... #amwriting #writingcommunity #anthology

Checked BookScan to see if I sold any books this week and... I sold 9?! Flabbergasted 😍 Thank you to everyone who is taking a chance on this indie debut author!

I can't figure out which #revpit #10queries is mine for the life of me, so to prevent further scrolling, I will be assuming it's this one. 😆 (To whoever this actually belongs to, it sounds great!!)

I just entered #RevPit #10Queries. Enter now for a chance to win free feedback on your query and first 5 pages!

Just a month left until my WATER Anthology submissions window opens! Looking for all things water-related and would be so honored to read your work! More details and link in comments. ⬇️ #amwriting #writingcommunity

What an amazing feeling! I can't believe I made it to the BBNYA finals! 😍

It's official! My company's next book club read is Fiona and the Forgotten Piano (my book!)

Maybe the zon is just hyping up the fact that my audio book comes out this month. Get your (physical copy) of Fiona and the Forgotten Piano for 70% off today!

3 winners will get a copy of The Blacksmith's Boy! I had the privilege of reading an ARC for this one. It was a suspenseful and emotional adventure! When an ancient spell threatens the kingdom, Bok answers an unlikely summons from Princess Isabella to join her in protecting all they cherish.

Update: 59% off 🤷

In case anyone was looking to escape into an enchanted forest with music magic and hidden worlds, Fiona and the Forgotten Piano is 54% off on Amazon for some reason. 📚 #kidlit
