Here we go. 🙂 It’s launch day for my middle grade novel, THE SETBACK. I started writing this book (ahem) 11 years ago. After many revisions, rejections, and near misses, it met the team at Pajama Press, who sent it straight to training camp.
Today, it steps on the field. Thank you to all of my teammates and coaching staff (you know who you are). 🙂

Thank you, @torontowots for such a great celebration of reading this weekend.

I was beyond honoured to share the stage with @deborahkerbel.books and @sharirbecker yesterday, and then @erinbowbooks and Arley Nopra today.

Thank you, @karilynnwinters1, for being such an excellent stage host.

And thank you, @ellaminnowbooks, for making sales and signings so easy. ☀️🙂

What a great afternoon celebrating a very funny new book, the latest in @lanabuttonauthor’s Brianna Banana series.

NEW CHEESE GIRL 🧀

This series is a must for the early chapter book set! 🙂

I’m over the moon to share that my new picture book, DEAR CLASSROOM 1B, will be out in the world in July. Christine Battuz has brought Norm, a cranky classroom hamster, to life with her beautiful illustrations. Thank you, Scholastic Canada, for teaming us up.
Available for preorders + book launch at @differentdrummerbooks on July 19th.
