Cover art just dropped for my third book, ‘Inside the World’s Haunted Libraries.’ It’ll be out in the world April 2026. It’s an honor to present (and preserve) the exceptional human experiences of library workers around the globe.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.
When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them
