Fall Update

So that July trip to South Korea was *amazing*! Seriously, the most fun teaching I've ever in one breathless week of glitter, glue-guns, and ghost stories, followed by an incredible week in Seoul advocating for CanKidLit at the embassy, touring libraries and giving author talks, and taking part in cultural activities! Thrilled to see so many brilliant artists (of all ages) contributing to the 2024

“The air changes. Then that invisible spider crawls up my spine, tickling the hairs behind my neck.

I have come to know this spider these last couple of years. It whispers there’s something else in the room, breathing with you, watching you, grinning at you.

I hate that damn spider.”
