Pixiandria isn’t all sparkles & stardust. Ping’s mother, the queen, has vanished, & pixies aren’t rolling out the mossy welcome mat. Ping must face tough choices as she seeks to find her mother. Along the way, she learns about loyalty, bravery, & staying true to herself. #kidlit #booksky #kidsbooks

Books have a magical way of showing up in our lives when we need them. Some challenge us, some comfort us, & some sweep us off on adventures we didn’t know we craved. You’re meeting a new companion who might change the way you see the world. Have you made a new friend recently? #booksky #kidlit

Reading is a fuel that leaves me energized. Every chapter ignites my curiosity & sends my brain wandering into new worlds. I've been rereading Anne & Todd McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. What story has been fueling your mind lately?

Dancing, humming, and pretending are all part of the process. As long as I'm writing about the faeries, they are content to watch and wait.

The snooze button is a trick of time. Five more minutes of sleep somehow warp into five seconds, while five minutes on the treadmill feel like five years. It’s the cruel magic of time. The snooze button becomes a portal to the fastest countdown in existence.
