Book News
Today is the launch of my new series with ZARA’S RULES FOR RECORD-BREAKING FUN! I’m so excited to share this book with you all and to hear what you think. The series is very close to my heart because so much of it is based on my childhood. I would be grateful if you could help me celebrate and spread the word about it in any of the following ways:
1. Buy the book from your favorite bookseller! It makes a great gift!
2. Post a review on Amazon/Goodreads/BookTok or anywhere else! This really helps with visibility.
3. Share the book on your social media and with friends who may be interested.
4. Ask your local library and independent booksellers to stock it.
5. Preorder Book 2: ZARA’S RULES FOR FINDING HIDDEN TREASURE now!
You can read more about the series, my character Zara, and why I wanted to write her in this interview with We Need Diverse Books.

What I’m Reading
I was recently gifted a personal memoir written my dear friend’s mother. It focuses on her marriage and the loss of her beloved husband and is written with so much love. Talking with Aunty about it reminded me that so many people I meet have a passion or interest in writing, but don’t take the time to do it. Often, fear or not knowing where to begin holds us back. But Aunty took the chance and now has a beautiful and moving gift to share with her family and friends. Do you have a story that lives inside you? Try to start writing it. Just a page or two and see where it takes you!
