As my mom used to say, one thing just leads to another. And in this case--that's a good thing!

Four picture book writers (Gennie Gorback, Lindsey Hobson, Jess Hinrichs, and Molly Ippolito) "met" in 2020 during the #FallWritingFrenzy contest. They hit it off and became a critique group, named (appropriately enough) The Frenzies.

Now that group has gone next level and started their own contest, #KidLitVibes. The Frenzies went all out in creating a fun contest--lots of cool graphics, fun "feeling" prompts, and great prizes

And I'm so pleased to see my story The Sometime House among the inaugural winners. Click here to read it and the other fantastic winning and honorably mentioned pieces. 

Thank you so much to the Fall Frenzies for making this contest happen! The. #kidlit world feels grateful to have you.

Little Thoughts Press is a literary magazine for and by kids. My poems “Once A House,” “The Trash Bandit,” and “The Moth,” are part of Little Thoughts Press recently released Issue 2: Natural Wonder.

In addition to the awesome experience of seeing my work appear in this beautiful new publication for kids, I also had the fun of sitting down for an interview with the editor, Claire Taylor. 

Read all about it here.

​This was my first interview as an author! Thank you, Claire, for having me and for all the you do to promote high quality children's literature.
