Can hardly believe it but Barnes & Noble picked my book “The Bakery Dragon” as the overall winner of their 2025 Children’s and YA Book Awards! This is such an unexpected honor, and truly doesn’t feel real still! It wasn’t long ago that this book was just a single drawing and a brain-wyrm of an idea. Thank you SO so much to every single person who supported and shared that drawing and encouraged me to take this little guy so far. I couldn’t have done it without you, and you received a special shoutout in my B&N blog about the win. And if you can believe it, I get to make even more! Book 2 is coming out in a few short months in October. I can’t wait to see how far Ember can fly!

Undersea Sleepover

A digital painting of children at a sleepover playing with stuffed animals of undersea creatures like whales and sharks. Outside the window, we can see out into a starry and magical ocean filled with sea creatures mirroring the movements of the children's stuffed animals. Some kids wear blanket capes or play in a blanket fort. Some eat chips and pizza. Dogs run alongside them, past arranged sleeping bags and houseplants. It is warmly lit inside and cool out the window.ALTA digital painting of children at a sleepover playing with stuffed animals of undersea creatures like whales and sharks.
