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.

March For Our Lives – EMMIE Poster

Posted on March 10, 2018 by Terri

As a parent, citizen, and children’s book author, I support the March For Our Lives event that will take place on March 24, 2018. Just for the event, I created some EMMIE posters that anyone can download for free. I made two different designs, either 8.5 x 11 or 11 x 17. Click on the links below to download.

EmmiePoster-1_8.5×11

EmmiePoster-1_11x17

EmmiePoster-2_8.5×11

EmmiePoster-2_11x17

I also created a generic poster (no KidLit mention):

Emmie around the world

Posted on May 13, 2017 by Terri

So here’s something cool: Invisible Emmie has been picked up (so far) by 14 different publishers around the globe. The UK edition came out at the same time as the North American edition (and looks similar). Here are 3 more that are on their way next! The German, French (look at that unique design, which I love) and Spanish covers are shown above. It’s interesting the way each publisher anticipates how its young readers will be drawn in (The German publisher was very adamant about having a teal cover). My only hope is that readers all over the world will ultimately enjoy Emmie.
