I receive wonderful fan mail from my readers, but this one choked me up. "I'd been interested in Marine Biology before reading THE NEPTUNE PROJECT, but this series... solidified that dream for me. I plan to pursue a college degree in marine biology and do field work in ocean conservation. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for three simple books that helped inspire a young man through the beautiful power of reading." Emails like this one make the ups and downs of creating books all worthwhile! #OceanConservation #MG #kidlit

Fun to see two of the nicest guys in kidlit, @AuthorStuGibbs and @JamesPonti at the FAME conference a few weeks ago. We first connected when those brilliant @TBAbooks TX Bluebonnet librarians selected our books to their list in 2014! #mglit #kidlit

Fun to see HURRICANE HEIST cover out at the wonderful Canadian indie bookstore @MunrosBooks in Victoria, BC! #mglit #kidlit #indiebookstores

I love reading fan emails for all my books! One girl just claimed she read THE NEPTUNE PROJECT 18 times and desperately wants more Neptune books. I thanked her and recommended some other series like Shannon Messenger's Sky Fall series. There are SO MANY great books out there... @SW_Messenger #mglit #middlegrade #librarians

It was great fun to find out SKYRIDERS, my mg fantasy about brave young couriers on their flying horses, is a finalist for this award. #flysafeflyfree #mgfantasy #kidlit
