FIRST TO FIND now available!

It feels like the right time to put something good in the world, so I’m happy to share that my second middle grade novel FIRST TO FIND is now available! It’s a mystery about geocaching and a missing girl, and I’m delighted with how it turned out (thank you Bryan Cheah for the beautiful cover!). It’s available at most online book retailers.
