I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be a guest author at the upcoming Sydney Writers’ Festival May19-27 in Sydney, Australia.

I’ll be speaking to students during the week and signing copies of my upcoming book, Entirely Emmie. There will also be a ticketed public event on Sunday, May 25. Details here.

If you live in or around Sydney, come say hello! So excited to meet young readers and families as well as explore this beautiful city.

(And yes, I plan on picking up a cool accent.)

Always love chatting with Zibby Owens on her prolific podcast, and this time I had the pleasure of joining funny and talented Alan Silberberg (double the fun). We discussed THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS, the awesome recent middle grade Hanukkah anthology we were honored to be a part of.

You can find the episode on Apple Podcasts (as well as on Spotify and Acast!here.

You can order THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS here.

Well, here’s something different: Fifteen notable authors and I have a new anthology out now, THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS: 16 HANNUKKAH STORIES. It’s for young and old, and it’s fantastic!

My story is a cheeky illustrated fantasy fiction about a miraculous, empathetic tree and the girl who cares deeply for it. I hope you’ll check out all the great stories. You definitely do not have to be Jewish to enjoy the book!

You can order here or through your local bookstore. Get it in time for the holidays!

Today (5/7) is the day ANTHONY hits the shelves! This is the story of two unlikely friends who witness a not-so-friendly incident — all told with humor and heart. I hope you’ll love reading it as much as I loved creating it. Go get a copy from your local bookstore or from any of the store links on this page.
