Book Announcement!

Ahoy and avast! My FIRST-EVER picture book, MONSTERS IN THE BRINY, is available for preorder!

To give you a hint of the fun (and sea monsters) lurking within the book’s pages, here’s the trailer:

For books signed by the author (me!), monster stickers, and a bookmark, please consider buying from The Wandering Jellyfish, a fabulous, new, indie kids bookstore located in Niwot, Colorado.

 

The book is also available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and your favorite local bookstore!

 

Yo! Ho! The kraken and I thank you!
