It. Is. HAPPENING! Nia’s Rescue Box is live for purchase on Amazon and bookstores near you! This is all very surreal and when I held the first proof copy in my hands just weeks ago, it was unlike anything I expected. All the feelings flooding and above all, excitement to share Nia’s (Vindeket’s) story...
Welcome back to Author Spotlight. Today I have the honor of sharing my conversation with Lynn Becker, the author of Monsters in the Briny illustrated by Scott Brundage and June Moon (coming out May 21, 2024) illustrated by Nate Carvalho.

Hello, hello! It’s been a minute and that is because (please improvise drumroll)… I’ve been finalizing publication details for Nia’s Rescue Box, my picture book illustrated by Abi Joy Eaton!! It’s real. Really real! It’s available for preorder on Amazon and everything! I actually received the proofs of the printed paperback this morning and...
Aaaaand we’re back! Today I’m lucky to share part of my conversation with author/illustrator Parker Milgram. Editing this down to a reasonable length was SO HARD.

I could not be more excited to share with you today the cover of my debut picture book, Nia’s Rescue Box! Abi Eaton, the illustrator, sent over the final version and I wanted to immediately blast it across all social channels. But I waited so I could make a post here and link back...
I had the best chat with Maxine Rose Schur for this Author Spotlight! She’s written dozens of titles and taught for decades. I tried to squeeze in as much of our talk as I could here, so please enjoy! You write travel writing and children’s writing, what type of writing came first for you? ...
Hello fellow writers and bibliophiles! Thank you for being here! This series has already blown past my expectations in all the best ways.

It’s time for another Author Spotlight! There’s been a bit of a lag over the past couple weeks due to Murphy’s Law, moving internationally, moving intercontinentally, and adjusting my plans and expectations.
