Middle Grade March 2022!

I'm in! "The Pack, The Dare and The Draugar" is set to be the the Book of the Day on March 24, 2022 as part of #middlegrademarch. Or, rather, Harmony, Olivia, Renny, Zac, Tosh and MacUmba are officially among the fantastic characters in the #middlegradebookpile! That's 31 days full of books in the daily spotlight during March, 2022, thanks to the Society of Middle Grade Writers. ( Here's a sneak peek at the video version hitting social media March 24!)


It's an illustrious group and as an author, I'm really thankful to be included. I've also met some really great fellow middle grade authors this month (online) and added a bunch of new books to my ToBeRead list. Since I write middle grade books, it's not goofing off when I read books written for middle graders. It's "professional development and continuing education." Really! So I was about to launch into more details about all the great authors and interest-piquing books I learned about by being a part of Middle Grade March 2022. But, heck, I'll just go ahead and list them all so you can browse them yourself. *One note: some of the authors punctuate their initials. Some don't. It's their name - it's punctuated the way they like it below. Blame ee cummings.
