Starred review from Booklist!

starred review for Under Attack from Booklist.

Just putting this up here because I like flowers

Kidnapped from Ukraine: Under Attack — book 1 and #1!

This novel will be published on Jan 7, 2025, so imagine my surprise to see it pop up as a #1 release on Amazon.com. Yay!

A pic from the Kobzar event with Adrian Lysenko

Just had a virtual chat with two first-time-published kidcritters and Adrian’s name came up. Then I realized, this lovely pic wasn’t on my website. Adrian has been in my writing group for a very long time and he’s a FABULOUS writer.

from March 21, at Kobzar Book Award night with fellow nominee and fellow longtime kidcritter, @AdrianLysenko. Congratulations to the winner, Myrna Kostash!!!

Meeting with Ms Coffman’s book club!

Thank you, Ms Coffman, for the opportunity to meet with your avid readers from Limestone MS, IL! I loved their well-thought-out questions about a bunch of my books, and also about creativity and research!
