Honored to speak at my tribe today at our @Wichita_Tribe Small Business Summit! Check out my lunch and cool cupcake. And I’m the weird one who always gets my Indian taco with fry bread on the side. 😊

An excited Librarian gets a signed copy of Be My ValenSLIME at TLA 2024.
Thank you to Librarians who attended TLA, our Panels, and Meet & Greets! Thank you to WaterBrook/PRH for supplying books to sign. Librarians loved Be My ValenSLIME, the glittery cover, SLJ starred review, and amazing art by NYT best-selling illustrator, Cori Doerrfeld!
I’m so thrilled to win 1st Place in the #50preciouswords International writing contest. 🥹My heart is doing cartwheels! Thank you to all the judges! Last year I won an honorable mention and today, you made this illustrator finally feel like a “real” writer.
Join me (and my book, Be My ValenSLIME) this week at TLA - Texas Library Association Convention - with 5,000 librarians in San Antonio, TX at the Henry B. Gonzalex Convention Center.
Looks amazing! Congrats!!!
