Today is the day - after some minor construction delays, the long-awaited grand opening of Book 2 in The Great Peach Experiment series is finally here!
Read on for a super-fun PEACH FAMILY RECIPE BOOK, great news about Controlled Burn (Fall 2022), and more info about my 2024 book, Just Keep Walking!
Welcome to The Peach Pit, a crumbling old Duluth mansion filled with secret staircases, a hidden attic that hides a treasure map, four naughty pups, construction disasters, a mysterious doll head lurking in the wall, a creepy cellar, and a lovable family who are absolutely ready to embark on their second big family experiment!
I hope you LOVE reading The Peach Pit as much as I enjoyed writing it - I beg you to please drop a review on Amazon and/or B&N after you've read it. It makes a world of difference, especially for books in a series!
Having one of my books chosen as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection was a dream of mine for a very long time, and now I can say it's happened TWICE! First, When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Peach Pie made their esteemed list. Now, Controlled Burn gets the same honor.
If you would like to hear the first chapter of this story now, you can do that. To listen/watch me reading the first chapter aloud, visit my YouTube page (link below).
Newsletter subscribers got a sneak peek at this, but the Official Announcement about JUST KEEP WALKING has finally been posted in Publisher's Marketplace: (sorry, this one won't be out until Spring 2024 - I'm still writing it!!)
