New review for SPELLING IT OUT up at PW. Of all the books I’ve written, this one is my husband’s favorite. I think it’s because he is introspective and stays true to himself. It’s available May, 13.

I feel the same way about white clothing. I’m just not responsible enough.

What inspires more #delight than a video of a dog? A video of a dog opening a box full of books. In this case, the box is full of my author copies of SPELLING IT OUT, which drops May 13, 2025. If you like, spelling, and nerds, and funny kids, full of heart, you’re gonna like this book.

Do you know what is not a #delight? Grading 8 million papers. But strawberry shortcake? Now that is a delight!

@hottsnewreads.bsky.social #bookposse this one is heading to you! You’ll love Ben and his goal to win the Nat’l Spelling Bee, but also feel for him as his Nan’s forgetfulness becomes an issue. So many students will relate! @finneganbegin.bsky.social #AthenuemBooks @simonkids.bsky.social

Can you read the writing in the concrete? It says I best I don’t love Jeannette. There’s a story there. What do you think it is?
