Crystal Dragons - from the book “Seven Ways Through the Woods” which just released today! Hooray!

A girl with blonde hair wearing blue overalls looks through a spyglass as she floats down a sparkling, light-dappled forest river on a raft made up of woven rainbow dragons. There are seven dragons, each a different color of the rainbow, and they overlap to create a white glow beneath the girl’s feet. In the back are mossy trees and tall river reeds.

Devin Elle Kurtz liked Molly's review of Ellie Has a Secret: "Wow!! This is such a great allegory for how it feels for a child to keep and secret about something they did wrong. I think it would have been cathartic for me to read back in second grade when I broke a clay pot and hid the shards under my playhouse" Read more of this review »

Devin Elle Kurtz liked Patricia's review of The First State of Being: "A thought provoking novel. While not initially one I would have stuck with, due to how much it goes back and forth constantly, it is a quick read that kind of reminded me of the more confusing episodes of Dr. Who. Time travel, pop culture references," Read more of this review »
