I'm embarrassed it took me 2.5 seasons of watching The First Wives Club to realize all of the episode titles were named after songs.

The 2024 code to activate the Winter Soldier rage is "This ain't Texas. Ain't no Hold 'Em" 🤣

So excited to announce that Phoenix Media & Books is a finalist for Best New Voice in Children's/YA for our debut title, Sister! We are honored and hope you will consider purchasing or checking out a copy. phoenixmediaandbooks.com/product-page/s…

Were you in the LA area April 27th? Did you by chance see Adrian? When last heard from he was in distress. His mother (Katie below) is on X desperate to find her son. She already lost her daughter a year ago. Please help this mom. #Share #MissingPerson #California #LosAngeles

Any help, any at all, would be immensely appreciated. I am trying to hold it together for my family and his three siblings who already lost their oldest sister last year and I am cracking under the pressure. Please, if you know anything, report it.

We continue to search for 25-year-old Black male Adrian Otey, who goes by “AJ.” AJ has been out of touch with family and friends since April, which is very uncharacteristic of him. There is a likelihood that AJ is around Downtown Los Angeles. If you have any information, please

I remember when my nerves had me in tears before critique meetings, and now I'm doing this. All I can say is be brave, take a chance, be yourself. You will find your audience.

This Just In! My debut PB, Every Other Christmas, is the recipient of an Honorable Mention from this year's Empowering Latino Futures International Latino Book Awards for the Best Children's Picture Book-English category. I am beyond honored. Thank you!

A parent sent me an amazing video of her son reviewing my latest book, Izzy's (Almost) Epic Day. Check it out (and the book too ☺️)!!
