Are you a fan of a good ghost story? When I was growing up I read every spook-tacular book I could get my hands on. The authors of my childhood were Mary Downing Hahn (Wait Till Helen Comes, Took) and Betty Ren Wright (The Dollhouse Murders, Ghosts Beneath Our Feet), each master storytellers for middle […]
LOOK. HOW. SPARKLY. I can’t think of a more perfect way to capture the book’s central themes than this imagery. There’s something truly nostalgic, and ethereal, about catching fireflies and watching them illuminate grandma’s mason jar. I absolutely love it. Read the blurb below and preorder your copy today! RELEASE DATE: October 1st, 2019 […]
Recently I’ve had a few submissions that asked, how did you get published? What were the steps you took? Where do you even begin? Truthfully, there is no one way to get published, but there are a few things that you need to be aware of before you set out on this journey. Here are […]
