My Next Book
On this very day, I'm working on some of the final edits for my next book, and I see GR already has it listed. It's coming out in about a YEAR, which tells you how far ahead of release the final work happens. It doesn't have a cover yet, but I've seen some preliminary sketches and they brought tears to my little eyes. Oh - this one is a middle grade! My first MG, but not my last, and still in that realism/contemporary/family wheelhouse I love so much. Add it to your want to read so you can be among the first to see the cover when it gets updated! -->

A Song Called Home - available to add!
Hello and happy fall!
I love fall. The weather turning chilly and the slow march to winter always makes me want to curl up with a book.
I'm excited to see that my middle grade debut, A Song Called Home, is up here on Goodreads and available to add to your lists and shelves.
You can also pre-order it, which is always so helpful for writers and their books! It comes out in February.
This is a story very very loosely based on my some stuff that happened to me when I was around 10/11 -- my parents' divorce, my mom remarrying, moving, and trying to figure out how to stay in touch with my alcoholic father through it all. It's also about friendship and sisters and dealing with change!
Hopefully there will be some kind of giveaway soon, be sure you're following me to get all the info!

A Song Called Home updates
Well it's really 2022, and if you're reading this, you made it.
My next book, A Song Called Home, comes out in about six weeks. In normal times, this would mean posting tour event dates and getting excited about being on the road to meet readers!
But it's not normal times, not yet, so I'm home and working with my team to come up with other plans.
Meanwhile, the book has gotten some nice trade reviews, including *starred* reviews from Kirkus and Publishers Weekly.
Interested in getting signed and personalized copies for your personal or classroom library? Use that same link above for information about how to do that. Also, you can always use my contact page to request signed bookplates for any of my books through the mail.
In other news, I'm making my 2022 reading list and trying to get through all the books I've bought in the last 2 years and haven't read yet. (Many!)
I hope your new year is okay so far, and that books are giving you some joy and comfort!
