✨Storytime is one of my favorite parts of being an author. It’s where books come alive for young readers! Reading together sparks imagination, builds connection, and helps children see themselves in stories. 📚💫

I’ll be sharing my books at the new Barnes & Noble in Rockwall, @bnrockwalltx Saturday, September 2nd at 11 AM during storytime, followed by a book signing. I’d love to see you there and celebrate the magic of stories with your little readers! 🧡

✨ Surprise! The Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Brazos Valley Chapter has invited me to be their August guest! I’m so excited to chat about how to navigate book events when you’re an introvert. 💁🏻‍♀️

**This is an online event you can register with the link below.

You’ve probably heard me share about my own anxiety before, but this isn’t quite about that. It’s about finding gentle, doable ways to step into the book world, connect with readers, and share your stories, even if big crowds make you want to curl up with a book instead.

If you’re a fellow introvert, a shy book lover, or an author trying to figure out how to promote your books without burning out, I’d love for you to join me. Let’s talk cozy strategies for making the most of every event. 📚

The registration link is below as well as in my bi0. I can’t wait to see you there. ☺️⬇️
