- “I know many of us feel like we’re in survival mode at the moment. For so many reasons and in so many directions at once. So, how do we both manage to survive AND make that leap from survival mode to being able to play and relax enough to trust others?” nerdybookclub.wordpress.com/2025/05/20/m...

- INTO THE RAPIDS comes out in about a month & I'm excited to share this review! With my brilliant editor @nancyrosep.bsky.social by my side, I set out to write a story short enough to be accessible to lots of readers, while still telling a deep, meaningful story. Glad Booklist thinks we nailed it!

- This week has mostly been about settling my daughter at her program (it's been going well so far!), but I also a school visit trip to Kansas. I was supposed to visit four schools except at one school, teachers were told stop reading FLIGHT OF THE PUFFIN aloud and the visit was canceled.... (1/4)
