Return to Foggy Hollow

It took longer than expected, but I am so excited to finally announce that book two in TALES FROM THE HOLLOW officially has a cover, a back cover summary, and a release date!

Coming this summer…

I went back and forth on the title. For some reason, I kept picturing readers thinking of Hungry Hungry Hippos. LOL. But in the end, Hungry is the Hollow turned out to be the perfect title for this story

I'm just getting it figured out. Wendy told me about it. I feel like I've been in the dark about this really awesome party and I'm arriving super late. :)
