It always makes me sad to put away Christmas decor

It always makes me sad to put away Christmas decorations, especially when winters in Connecticut are long and sometimes dreary. But last week, I got this lovely review from Midwest Book Review, and it brightened everything! Christmas might be over, but readers can still share the counting concepts and revisit the nativity story year round with my @zonderkidz book, OVER IN A STABLE! Hooray!

Nothing like walking in the door to discover an envelope full of thank you notes from the 5th and 6th grade readers at Tabor Elementary School in Iowa. It makes this historic day even better!

I wrote my first @scholasticinc foodie book, CAKE

I wrote my first @scholasticinc foodie book, CAKE POP CRUSH, nearly eight years ago. It was long enough ago that I’m starting to hear from readers who grew up reading my books and are now out having their own adventures in the world as adults. When one of these grown readers shares with me what my books have meant to her or him, my heart overflows with gratitude. I feel so lucky to have a job that I love and readers who take the time to read and appreciate my work. Thank you, @mavs.books, for sharing this post.

QOTD: What was your favorite genre as a kid? Is it still the same?
⠀
AOTD: I liked contemporary back then and still do! I had some interest in fantasy as well but it was mainly just one author’s fantasy novels. I’m not as into fantasy now, sadly.
⠀
Hi guys! If this was a Thursday, I could call this Throw Back Thursday...maybe I’ll make that a thing for next week. Today was my first day back at school! I only take one class each day & do the rest online so after I post this, it’s time for work😭 Anyways, these were some of my favorite contemporary authors as a kid. I loved Wendy Masa’s Willow Falls Series & was obsessed with Suzanne Nelson’s many food related romance books. Sometimes I still pick them up when I’m feeling down☺️💖

It’s time for some good news: the cover and titl

It’s time for some good news: the cover and title reveal for my tenth @scholasticinc foodie book, A BATCH MADE IN HEAVEN! Cookies are one of my favorite desserts, so I’m thrilled about this book and can’t wait to share it with you. Here’s a sneak peek of the story:

Scrumptious recipes... a family secret... and one smart cookie ready for a challenge!

Mina is excited to start her mentorship at A Batch Made in Heaven, the bakery in her hometown that's famous for their inventive cookies. Mina dreams of becoming a baker herself someday. But there's a problem. Flynn, the (undeniably cute) son of the owner, won't let Mina into the kitchen: the top secret Cookie Vault. If Mina can't bake, then she can't enter the big cookie competition... and if she can't enter, she'll never win the money to help her dad open the restaurant he's always wanted.

What secret is Flynn hiding? And will Mina's entire plan crumble like an overbaked cookie, or can she find a way to help her family and her heart?

A BATCH MADE IN HEAVEN releases October 19th, but it’s available for preorder now! (Link in bio)
