POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

If the popular sitcom “Happy Days” reflects American social history, back in the 1960s the place for a guy to meet a girl was a drive-in diner. In the show, Arnold’s restaurant is the place where teenagers gather. Watering-holes as meeting places date back to the Bible. Isaac (Genesis 24:11-15), Jacob (Genesis 29:1-9) and Moses (Exodus 2:15-22) meet their future wives at a well.

When Jesus meets a woman at Jacob’s well (John 4:4), two social norms are clear: It is usual for a woman to collect water; it is unusual for a woman to talk with a strange man.

The conversation that unfolds is the longest recorded in the Gospels, but how have Jesus and the woman arrived there?

My next book, STAINED, hits shelves November 17th! 🎉

❤️ I am in LOVE with this amazing cover art by artist Weston Wei! ❤️

Twelve year old, Uly, was born with a port-wine stain birthmark on his face. When he moves from Maine to Massachusetts with his mom, what Uly wants most is to take cover behind his camera. Instead, he finds himself at the center of a controversy over his school’s new mural.

If you’re up for it, I hope you might consider preordering the book.

In the publishing world, preorders are super important for authors. Preorders help signal to the publishing house and libraries and others in the industry that there’s interest in the book.

You can preorder from any place you buy books (Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or your favorite local indie book store).

As always, I appreciate all the support. And stay tuned for some book events coming in November and December!

A short week and leaving for vacation on Monday, what more could a gal ask for? Besides more books but that’s a given 😇

✨Give me some KU recs so I can read while traveling?
I only have one arc to read but I need to reread the first in the series before I get to it and I haven’t got anything close to being available from the library 😭

In the 90's we had Horrible Histories and not a lot else at all. If only I could grab a time machine and through these at 10 year old me! ... although I think the books might get overlooked for experiencing the real thing if one existed!

I digress... Today I have a selection of nonfiction chapter books on history, a bit longer, for deeper diving.

It's not an exhaustive list at all, there are of course some gaps here, but that just leaves us room for another round another day...

💧COVER REVEAL 💧

🚰 🚫 We’re so excited to share the amazing cover of FOR THE GREATEST GOOD by @blairhansonbooks !

💧🥤A searingly honest look at the clean drinking water crisis and the messy reality of activism following two rural teens hoping to save their small town.

Designer: @_emmahardy_
Illustrator: @westonweiart

Out June 30th and available for preorder now!

After years of poor water quality, Gavin fears his town, Pondville, is one burst pipe away from losing access to safe drinking water forever.

Demoralized, Gavin and his best friend MacKenzie turn to his estranged father, a board member of the infamous water company CrispFlow. CrispFlow is known for giving out grants to improve public facilities, but they’ve also been buying and privatizing cities’ failing water systems, often leaving those towns’ situations worse than they found them. Gavin wouldn’t trust CrispFlow to privatize their water, but with his father on the board and Gavin and Mack interning at town hall, he might just be able to walk away with the grant money instead. Gavin’s dad agrees to rig the grant process if Gavin and MacKenzie sabotage the competition to help CrispFlow win an infrastructure bid. It’s not above board, but everybody wins, as long as no one gets caught . . .
