I’m so excited finally to share this news — my debut picture book UNIVERSE PIE is coming out in the fall of 2027! I’m so stoked that publisher Gnome Road picked up this project and paired the amazing illustrator Anita Bagdi with it. She is a talented illustrator with a number of books under her belt already and I’m grateful to have her vision folded into this book. Here’s a link to Anita’s website — go take a look at her work and check out her other books.

As a new business owner (non-writing related), life has been fast and furious this year for me. But, my creative life is still at the center of my world. I’m happy to share with you that two of my poems were selected for the 2025 CAW anthology. Check it out!

​p.s. Stay tuned for some BIG news about a traditional publishing deal….coming soon.

Now, this is a how to start the day right!

​While it didn’t make the showcase, I’m thrilled to learn that my picture book manuscript ONCE UPON A REWRITE received an honorable mention in this year’s PB Party contest.

Thank you to Mindy Alyse Weiss and her team of extraordinary judges for all the work they do every year to put on such an extraordinary event.

See more about the honorable mentions and PB Party in general here.

Agented, pre-agented, published, pre-published, writers of all ages and stages— all kidlit creatives are welcome to enter! Check out more info here.

Thank you to Jonathan Humble for all your hard work in organizing and editing Sky Surfing, a beautiful kidlit poetry anthology. Dozens of authors and illustrators donated their creativity to this project, which came out so well. I’m so pleased to have 2 illustrations included.

Even better - funds generated from book sales will be donated to Juvenile Arthritis Research.

Jonathan will have the order link up soon for anyone interested in getting their own copy. Read more about the project on his blog here.
