Recently, I had the chance to speak with the Mountains & Plains Independent Booksellers Association, along with fellow Alqonquin Young Readers authors Amy Timberlake and Yamile Saied Méndez.
Our panel, part of MPIBA’s Summer Camp series, was recorded, and now it’s available live for anyone who’d like to see us chat up some fun fall releases!
Amy Timberlake discusses the inspiration behind her charming and quirky new readaloud, Skunk & Badger, illustrated by Jon Klassen. (My mother-in-law gives Skunk & Badger rave reviews! And I don’t share just any old book with Judy.)

Yamile Saied Méndez talks about her fantastic YA debut, Furia, full of fierce girls, futbol, and romance. Furia will transport you right to Rosario, Argentina with its rich sense of place!
And I share some behind-the-scenes secrets of the creation of the Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries.
A big thanks to our marvelous moderator, Megan Harley of Algonquin Young Readers, and to the Mountains & Plains Independent Booksellers Association for this fantastic panel. Furia and Skunk & Badger are coming September 15, and Premeditated Myrtle and How to Get Away with Myrtle will be here October 6!
We have even more Big Bookseller News coming very soon, so stay tuned!
