Second day on the job went GREAT! Millie is a great addition to the family.

When I turned 40 in 2021, I was ready to start writing Louder Than Hunger, a fictionalized account of my experiences and emotions living in residential treatment facilities. I was ready to address the pain of my past in the hope that it would help others. booklistonline.com/Writers-Reader…

John Schu takes over a room in the best kind of way.

His energy, his quick laugh, his warmth—all befitting a children’s book author and librarian, which is what Schu does.
