SCBWI's long-awaited THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA is available for preorder! Spooky middle-grade stories from talented writers in all 50 states, DC, & PR. I'm amazed & grateful to have my little piece of NC and F. Scott Fitzgerald's ghost in its pages.

Telling my son to make his bed so the dog sleeps on top of the covers isn't working out the way I expected.

Not sure I'm reaching anyone in the Asheville area, but if you know anyone, send them by for a fun Sunday reading at Little Jumbo!!

Check out the beautiful cover art created by Helena Domenic (www.artofhelenadomenic.com) for the Roses & Wildflowers @rosesandwf.bsky.social inaugural issue. So excited for my story "You Are Red" to be in such talented creative company!

I'm 215 pages into this SOOOO GOOD read, when my spouse says, "Um, I got that for you for Christmas." Returning to the library and awaiting Santa's visit with the excitement of a little kid.
