I had hoped to be done and editing long before now, but as with most authors, life gets in the way. #WritingCommunity #KidLit

“Oh Eli, don’t you understand?! I’ve gone too far! At first, I didn’t care who I hurt. Spencer, Ashlyn, Odelia, Aiden – I mean, who cares. They were horrible to me. But now I’ve started to hurt people I care about – Tyler, and now Emily…”

Aside from some horror movie picks next month, I'll be stepping away from social media for the rest of the year as I complete my next novel The Ghost in Mitchell Bay - book 2 in my five-book MG mystery series that began this year with The Boy in Mitchell Bay. I'm aiming for a May 2026 release date.

“I’m your mother.”
Stanley deliberately leaned into her face.
“I have no mother.”
