I know. I’ve been absent.
Even when I said I’d be checking in more often, I’ve been absent.
But seriously. It’s been like an avalanche lately. Since ICEBERG’s launch on March 7…
The book hit #1 on the New York Times list, and remained on the list for four weeks.
LINES OF COURAGE was nominated for an AML Award (but didn’t win – that’s okay!) It also became a nominee for the 23-24 Junior Tome It List. RESCUE was nominated for the 23-24 Missouri Truman Award.
I have visited 12 states (some of them twice) and 24 schools, logging 26,762 miles of air travel. I have participated in 5 festivals or conferences, done 8 Zoom presentations, 1 Podcast, and 1 online panel.
I’ve done final edits on two separate projects and started three other projects.
So EVERYTHING is a little behind. I’m working on it, I promise. Thanks for being patient with me. Great things are ahead…
Here are a few highlight photos…
