WHAT'S NEW??



"Bestselling Author!"



For the first time ever, I can officially call myself a "Bestselling Author!" I'm so honored to see my books on the list of Children's bestsellers on the Midwest Indie Bookseller List. Since both of these books truly celebrate the beauty of the Midwest, I'm thrilled that they're finding lots of readers (thanks to the hardworking MIBA Booksellers!) in my part of the country!

WHAT HAPPENED THEN: A New middle-grade Novel coming in Summer 2025!


In this mystery set on an island over the course of one summer, cousins Avery and Jax have one final chance to mend the wounds of their estranged family and uncover some long-unspoken truths. But when dark secrets from their parents' childhood are dredged up, they'll have to figure out who has been blamed, who is actually responsible, and how to save the pieces of their family that are left.

A new series coming in fall 2025!



For the past year or so, I've been working on something new...and very fun. JUST LIKE HOME is a series about a family who host and help a rotating stable of animals who are in need of a safe place to land (a sanctuary!). I can't wait to share some very sweet characters (both humans and animals - including a llama named Glen!) and this special setting with readers in Fall 2025. The first two books will be published by Scholastic at the same time!
