I’m excited to chat about some big updates in my life that are shaking things up in the best way! My husband surprised me with tickets to a family history convention, where I’ll be digging into military research and learning how to write those stories—can’t wait to share what I pick up. I’ve also jumped into Criticless, this awesome app where parents like me are swapping real reviews to figure out what media works for kids, and I’ve started a little community there I’d love for you to check out. Oh, and my 100-book challenge? I hit a wall, but rereading Tommy and Tuppence and Pratchett’s Night’s Watch has been a lifesaver—plus, I’ve got some cool interviews coming up I’ll tease a bit. It’s a busy, fun time, and I’d love for you to hang out with me for it!
