New Book(s) Alert!
Hi all!
Long time, no post! I have been deep in the writing and illustrating trenches and I’m happy to finally share I have a new book publishing soon!
Friends, please meet my latest spooky, illustrated novel, REMEMBER ME, DAPHNE! In bookstores everywhere July 14th, 2026!
She’s cute! She’s ghosty! She’s got tons of illustrations and spooky, gothic vibes! She’s available for pre-order now: Order your copy here!
About the book:
From the publisher - “Some spirits never leave.
When a new family moves into the creepy old house across the street, sixth-grader Flora finds her wish for a best-best friend has come true. Her new neighbor Mac is sweet and charismatic. With Mac by her side, Flora feels like the upcoming school year will be a fresh start for her—no more anxious or klutzy Flora!
But despite their new friendship, not all is perfect. Mac fits in better with their classmates than Flora ever did. Mac’s family seems to be holding back a big secret, something about a mysterious ex-best friend named Daphne who Mac won’t ever talk about. And Mac’s little brother, Danny, gives Flora the creeps. Strange things keep happening whenever he’s around.
Is Flora’s mind playing tricks? Or could it be that Mac’s house is as haunted as it looks?”
Why I hope readers will love this book:
This story is infused with spooky gothic tropes (a haunted house! A creepy attic! Psychological dread! Oh my!) but REMEMBER ME, DAPHNE is ultimately a friendship story. Characters navigate toxic relationships, struggle with self-doubt, find the courage to be themselves, and learn what it means to be a good friend.
Come hang out with me!
To celebrate the release of REMEMBER ME, DAPHNE, I’m doing a book launch with Larkspur Books in Southampton, Ontario on July 25th! I’ll be reading from the book, answering questions, signing copies and we’ll have a few activities and freebies for kiddos!
From my post on Instragam:
In other news, in addition to REMEMBER ME, DAPHNE, I’ve also been working on a YET ANOTHER book project (top-secret, yet to be announced!). This top-secret project has been SO much fun to work on and has challenged me in so many ways. I can’t wait to share more with you in the coming months! Stay tuned :)
I hope you’re having a great summer! Talk more soon!
