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.
Hmmm, let’s assume that “Not for Publication” notice is outdated now…
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…
Me with Jen Canolito and two amazing fans in Nevada!
The amazing shores of Maine.
Gorgeous North Carolina!
Hmm…too soon for Titanic jokes? I think not!
Each letter represents one of my books!
About to present! (When a few more people arrive, of course)
