Today marks 10 years since my first book ‘To the Sea’ was published, and in many ways my start in children’s publishing! 🥳✨ 10 YEARS!!

I am so unbelievably grateful to work in this industry, and get to tell my stories. Thanks to any of you out there who may have read one of my books 🙌 ❤️

I'm excited to say that this June will mark my 10th year working as a published author! 10!!! Madness. 😵‍💫
I decided to put together a book talking about 100 things I've learned in 10 years, working on 25 books. I'm working to have it done by this June, and I hope it will be helpful to others! 📚
