Thanks Erin, this was super fun!
Did my first author reading event and received two mega compliments:
- A retired 1st grade teacher asked me if I'm a teacher
- A little girl told me I'm "the best reader ever!"

8yo looking at my book on Goodreads:

Yeah! Double-witch online author event???
This looks amazing!
πCOVER REVEAL!π
Apparently Jake didn't learn his lesson after writing to Santa. Now he's pestering his mysterious new neighbor to help him prepare for his Halloween party.
With witchy words by me and paranormal pictures by Pablo Pino, WHEN THE WITCH WROTE BACK! soars into stores next August.
Time to catch up on my @pbspree.bsky.social books! Have you read these titles yet? They rock!
