Schmoozing at the Kincardine Lighthouse Blues Festival with lovely veteran Canadian actor, Patrick Young! My new chapter book, Katie Crumble and the Case of the Missing Underwear, flew off the book rack (it was very windy!) @plumleaf.bsky.social @authorsbooking.bsky.social #scbwi #canscaip #twuc

Dear friends: If you purchased a copy of Katie Crumble and the Case of the Missing Underwear, or Pirate Glitterbeard, please leave a review wherever you bought the book, or Goodreads. Greatly appreciated. It does something good for the algorithm or other things I don't know about. Thank you!

I had fun reading "Pirate Glitterbeard" and "Katie Crumble and the Case of the Missing Underwear" at the public library in beautiful Wiarton. 2 classes braved the heat to walk to the library for a book break! #katiecrumblebooks #chapterbooks #authorreadings

What a shame. It's a wonderful and moving book. I learned so much about Afghanistan and its people.
