So happy to connect with awesome librarians at #VAASL2024!

As a former teacher, receiving these pins & certificates from the @JrLibraryGuild for 2 of the new Gingerbread Man graphic early readers means so much to me. Tremendously honored & grateful.

Are you going to #VAASL this week? Me too! I'm so excited to share ideas & tips for making school visits ROCK, and of course, signing copies of a Gingerbread Man Graphic Novel for your school libraries! Here's where to find me:

Happy Halloween, especially to all the elementary school teachers & librarians who should probably be getting double pay!

Fall is the perfect season to enjoy some gingerbread! 😉

Writing retreats can be as short & simple as a trip to your local cafe. Or they can be longer & immersive like time spent at @HighlightsFound (my favorite)!

Ever thought about a writing retreat? This week I'm sharing my experiences on my YouTube channel: youtu.be/PzG8fxkYGKk?si=GnBa…
