I have two books coming out in 2021! My middle-grade novel, “Rule of Threes” will be published by Chronicle Books on May 11th. My picture book, “Something Good,” (illustrated by Corinna Luyken) will be published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers on September 7th. I will add events here related to these two releases as information becomes available. Due to COVID-19, events may be virtual and will be noted as such.
