I've just started contributing to the From the Mixed Up Files blog, having been a long-time reader while writing my own middle grade novels and stories. 

The site is such a great resource for writers, readers, librarians, and teachers - I'm thrilled to be a part of it. 

Check out my inaugural post, focusing on a few favorite MG anthologies:

Looking forward to posting more in the new year!

About the Mixed-Up Files

From the Mixed-Up Files … of Middle-Grade Authors is a team of writers and readers of middle-grade books, and our goal is to celebrate and generate enthusiasm about books for 8-12 year olds.

I was thrilled to get the chance to write about the incredible, local Blue Monday concert series in my home of Lafayette for the Nov/Dec 2024 issue of Living Blues magazine.

I'd love to write a longer piece about this concert series and all the good it's done for musicians in the area, and I'm grateful to Living Blues for giving me the opportunity to write this.

Be sure to check out Living Blues - and check out a Blue Monday show if you can!
