The book is being published in May by Leapfrog Press. You can pre-order it just about anywhere now. I know that Amazon and B & N have it on their websites for pre-order, but if you have a local bookstore that you love, you can pre-order it through them. I don't know if you are in the New York area, but we've begun to set up tour dates around New York and New Jersey. I have a website and you can subscribe there if you'd like to learn about readings or other publications. Here's the link to that. https://nwestmoss.wordpress.com/ And thank you Lynn, for reaching out!(less)

Maybe this is because I enjoy writing and I work not to put a negative onus on the process. I tell my students, and myself, that each person's process is unique, so I try not to judge my ups and downs.(less)

"If you want to fall in love with characters, this is the book for you. Moss invites you into the world she has created, seamlessly. It's as if you knew them all you're whole life. "
Birdy by N. West Moss
"Beautiful and timeless. Gets right at the heart of all those universal qualities of being 11-12 years old. Birdy could even be a little older, but the characters, the love, the family connectedness are all on point. The narrator's language and tone a" Read more of this review »
