BECOMING BRIANNA hits the (virtual) shelves TODAY!
Becoming Brianna is the fourth book in the best-selling Emmie & Friends series. The story brings Brianna from Positively Izzy back into the limelight, in a way she never thought possible. She must overcome all kinds of frustrating challenges, all the while trying to answer the biggest question of all: What do I believe?
This book is perfect for anyone who loves humor, heart, and of course, funny drawings to highlight all of it! Ages 8-12.

So excited to reveal this cover of my next book in the best-selling “Emmie & Friends” series: BECOMING BRIANNA. I’m also excited to bring back one of my beloved main characters (and her colorful family) from POSITIVELY IZZY. This book has been an absolute joy to work on, and it’s definitely influenced by personal experience. I hope you love it!
BB comes out in May, 2020. You can pre-order it here.

Some of you may have noticed that I posted my upcoming book’s cover a few weeks ago. I had to take it down because there was a last-minute title change. I’m pleased to reveal the NEW (and final) cover for…
Just Jaime comes out in May, 2019. I hope you like it as much as I loved writing it. It carries a theme that’s loosely based on real events, one that’s so incredibly universal in the middle school world: exclusion. But don’t worry…it’s also packed with plenty of humor!
You can pre-order Jaime here.
And more great news: Emmie and Izzy now come in a boxed set, perfect for the holidays! You can order that here.
Event alert! I’ll be at the Buckeye Book Fair in Wooster, OH, on November 3, 9:30-4. Hope to see you! Details here.
This speaks for itself. I couldn’t be more thrilled. EMMIE and IZZY are doing phenomenally, and I have you readers to thank. So…THANK YOU!!
