Three years, two books, and countless words after I began querying, I’m thrilled to announce I have signed with @ClarkLiterary I’m incredibly lucky to have not one, but two marvelous agents in Ginger and Nicole! My spooky MG novel couldn’t be in better hands 🖤🦴👻

Just 4 weeks until The Night Train pulls into the station!
If you're local to the Chicago/Milwaukee area, my book launch will be at the Kenosha Public Library!
Tickets are free but registration is required. Hope to see you there!

It’s always such fun to see what the tweens and teens in my library classes come up with… here’s my example for our needle-felted cacti class side by side with this teen’s interpretation, aka, “buff cactus” 🌵😆

Just finished The Curse of Eelgrass Bog by @maryaverling and was just blown away. Lovely writing, imaginative and fresh world building, satisfying and heartfelt ending — first 5-star read if the year for me! You can bet I’ll recommend this to library patrons 💚
So excited for this book! I got to read an early draft and loved it 🚂
"If you hear The Night Train whistle, taste sulfur on your tongue, inhale the scent of ash and soot your best bet is to run."
Here's the cover for my new book, THE NIGHT TRAIN! Out this August!

Here's what I don't understand about MG being ghosted right now: This is where readers are made. This is the magical age where kids inhale books like air. It all starts here, and if we stop caring about making readers young, eventually no-one will be left to read YA or adult.
Sampling of library programming fun this fall I planned or was part of: Halloween acrylic pour painting, polymer clay charms, an after hours 18+ “Boos & Brews” party, and mini books! 👻🖤🐈⬛🎃

So proud of my talented CP! Both her art and storytelling are amazing ✨
Super thrilled to be represented by the amazing Brent Taylor at @triadaus!
I am beyond grateful to have an awesome champion for my YA contemporary GN, LAST NIGHT I DREAMED OF HOME, about two international students who couldn’t be more different as they navigate a new culture.

Beyond thrilled for my CP @BayleyMae_ !
I'm so excited to be working with @BayleyMae_! Her spooky MG had no business pulling me in the way it did. Full of riddles, races, first crushes, & found family, I can't wait for readers to get their hands on this project✨

if you don't know anything about these four shows, would you believe me that lockwood & co. is the one that got canceled (for now)?

We kicked off #mentalhealthawareness month at the library with a group of volunteer teens making these awesome stress relief kits in tins to give away (created with the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique in mind).
I have the honor of meeting with young writers twice a month at our library. Today I read the teen entries for our Mythic Fiction writing contest. When I say I was blown away, that is a massive understatement. Watch out world here they come! #libraries #WritingCommmunity

This librarian is hungry for more #lockwoodandco! I want it to become a phenom so I can create an awesome teen program where we do a marathon rewatch, eat biscuits and drink tea, and all make our own skulls in a jar! #LockwoodandCoSeason2 #renewlockwoodandco
1, 2, 3 months of #LockwoodandCo
1, 2, 3 seasons please @NetflixUK ⚔️

The book banning stuff can feel overwhelming and uncontrollable but you can make a difference! This @BookRiot round up has great action points on how you can help fight back! #FReadom
