I did an author event last week and there were some Glitter Boy fans in the audience! They wanted to know if James and Joel will return and what happens to them. I told them to look out for my third middle grade book coming Jan 2026... Artwork by Melissa Chaib

Ian Eagleton Exciting!!! I'm so pleased you're doing this.
