2025 NEWS
*Wonderling 2 Update! It’s been a long slog but the sequel to The Wonderling: Songcatcher is finally heading towards the finish line. Book 2 (The Wonderling: Singing Tree) will be coming out early 2027. I apologize for the eternal wait. Between the pandemic, a big change at my publisher's, and my third brain injury, things got a bit delayed. But worry not! It WILL come out!
*Some of you might remember that there was a big movie deal for the Wonderling series a few years ago. What happened was this: Disney bought Fox2000 (the studio I was working with) and shuttered their company. But the rights have now reverted back to me and both Wonderling 1 & 2 will be sent out to movie studios and directors this fall. Fingers crossed that something awesome happens!
Meanwhile, I have several projects going on....a middle grade novel about a girl thief,
an adult novel (a love story and ghost story in one), and two picture books, one about birds and the other about elephants.
*The other big news is that I have been accepted into the Mass Audubon Field Naturalist Program for the fall and when I’m not working away on my book projects I will be in the field, investigating all sorts of magic in the natural world. I can't wait!
* While you are waiting for the next book to come out, you can see some of my Wonderling 2 sketches and other nuggets on Instagram and Facebook .
* ALSO, I have been teaching creative writing off and on in a fantastic online writing program called Pioneer Vally Writers Workshop. I currently teach memoir and creative non-fiction but will possibly teach middle grade and YA fiction in the future. If you want to keep in the loop about that, please get on their email list.

* If you are interested in hosting me for a school visit in 2025 or 2026, either in-person or virtual, you can contact me HERE.
