There’s only ten days until The Ghost Who Saved Halloween‘s PUB DAY and we’re up to our Ghost Belly Buttons in book promotion!
See below for one of the silliest days of our lives and we have the mosquito bites to prove it!
We started the summer off with a really special Summerween “Pre-Order Party” and Storytime at Magic City Books in Tulsa, OK. It was a truly great turn-out and just the best possible experience, overall, for a debut author!
Below is the amazing video that my dear friend Steffan Light of Steffan Light Creative shot. I’m so grateful that he and his precious wife, Tara, were so kind to come out to Tulsa for this first BIG event.
Another special thing that’s happened as of late: I’ve taken on a Picture Book Mentee! We meet twice a month for one-hour (plus) video calls where we talk about her manuscripts and pitches that I’ve critiqued/made notes/suggested edits ahead of time plus we dive deep into things like querying, agents, and other industry insider stuff.
It’s been a lovely and rewarding experience so far! If you’d be interested in a Mentorship with me, please email me directly here with Mentorship in the subject line.

My mentee, Charlotte, who loves writing picture books, is ALSO a very talented entrepreneur. Look at these adorable Ghost earrings she made me! Her business is called The Goode Karma Co. and I’d highly recommend her goodies! PLUS she has a REALLY FUN Summerween line coming out soon that’s somewhat my fault! LOL! Be on the lookout for that!
And finally, another FANTASTIC thing that’s come about this summer… The Ghost Who Saved Halloween’s Classroom Companion! I cannot begin to explain all of the awesomeness that lurks inside Ghost’s official Classroom Companion developed by the extremely talented and kind Stephanie Fitzpatrick of The Book Links LLC.
Available NOW for parents, teachers, and librarians –it’s my hope that The Ghost Who Saved Halloween will become THE MUST Fall/Halloween Read-Aloud + English Language Arts addition to school lesson plans!




If you haven’t yet pre-ordered The Ghost Who Saved Halloween, there is only ten days left to do so! I have SUPER ADORABLE bookmarks and maybe other goodies for anyone who pre-orders a copy and emails me with their proof of purchase! You don’t want to miss your chance!
Be standing by for more book fun to come! Thank you for everything, my dear readers!

Can’t wait for Ghost’s debut! ❤ Can attest that working with Jen has transformed my writing! I went from crickets on my queries before starting my mentorship to 3 requests. I cannot recommend her enough!
