In the summer of 2025, I was staring, kind of slack-jawed, at my computer screen. My mouse was hovering over the send button on a draft of an email to my Random House publicist. I was looking ahead at my impending book tour for Angelica and the Bear Prince and
Things have been pretty hectic here, but we’re finding ways to show up for each other. I’m not really at a loss. There’s always something to do in the neighborhood. It’s still stressful, but there’s plenty to be done. I’m sort of just learning

For the month of May, I resolved to do my best to try and draw a mermaid every single day. I didn't quite make it, but I enjoyed being able to pump out a little drawing all the time. I did not use the MerMay prompts, but I
Hello everyone! This week, I am headed to Philadelphia for the American Library Association’s annual conference. I’ll be there with my publisher to promote Angelica and the Bear Prince (which recently got a starred review from Kirkus), so please let me know if you’ll be in attendance.
Hello everyone! Once again, it has been a hot minute. I’m so sorry. It turns out, Emerald City kicked my butt in mostly extremely good ways but also in one odd and annoying way—I developed an isolated dry cough that lasted a month. Mostly I just couldn’t
