BOOK 5 cover reveal!

Posted on January 11, 2021 by Terri

So pleased to reveal the cover of the next book in the Emmie & Friends series…TRULY TYLER! That’s right, it features a boy. Not just any boy, but Emmie’s crush from INVISIBLE EMMIE.

The story kicks off as Tyler and Emmie join forces in art class to create their own comic book. The chapters switch back and forth between Tyler and Emmie as they work on their project over the next three weeks. Peer pressure, self doubt, and (as always) hilarity ensue in this layered tale of friendship and family. BONUS: It includes Tyler and Emmie’s final comic creation — as in: a book within a book!

I’m so pleased with the way this story came together, and I hope you’ll agree. TRULY TYLER comes out May 4, 2021. To pre-order, go here.

Book 3 Cover Reveal (take two)

Posted on November 1, 2018 by Terri

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.
