Hello! It’s been a minute but can’t wait to share my middle grade debut, the joyful and fun holiday book, LET IT GLOW (cowritten with Joanne Levy), with you in October!
You can preorder it now and, if you’re in the US, you can also enter to win one of 10 bound manuscripts over at Goodreads.
When Aviva Davis and Holly Martin meet at the holiday pageant tryouts for their local senior’s center, they think they must be seeing double. While they both knew they were adopted, they had no idea they had a biological sibling, let alone an identical twin! The similarities are only skin deep, though, because while Aviva has a big personality and even bigger Broadway plans, Holly is more the quiet dreamer type who longs to become a famous author like her grandfather.One thing the girls do have in common is their curiosity about how the other celebrates the holidays. What better way to discover the magic of the holidays than to experience them firsthand? The girls secretly trade lives, planning to stage a dramatic reveal to their families at the pageant. Two virtual strangers swapping homes, holidays, and age-old traditions–what could possibly go wrong?

This year’s Trova Trip to France was so much fun. Here are a few pictures:
This time, I’m taking a bunch of readers to Germany and Austria and I’d love for you to be one of them! There are still a few spots left. Book now, and next July we will be exploring the land that inspired the world of GILDED, visiting real-life fairy tale castles, and singing MY FAVORITE THINGS a la Julie Andrews at the top of our lungs (you know you want to). I hope to see you there!
