AP Gift Guide for Young Readers


I am thrilled, thrilled, thrilled to announce that the Associated Press has selected MY UNDERSLUMBERBUMBLEBEAST as 1 of 6 books recommended in the Early Elementary category of their Gift Guide for young readers!! This is a huge thing to happen for a little book published by a small press! 

First featured in BABY TEETH and DEAR HANNA, this book is written for ages 7-10, but is widely enjoyed by adults as well (with or without being familiar with my adult books).

Pre-order the gift bundle direct from the publisher. Or order/purchase from wherever you buy books.

Writers Digest Essay & The ARC Party Podcast

We're only two weeks away from DEAR HANNA's launch day, and there's a lot going on! First up is an essay I wrote for Writers Digest about how selling BABY TEETH lifted me out of poverty and changed my life. And I'm also proud to share this ARC Party podcast discussion of DEAR HANNA, the one-and-only podcast I've done for the book. More updates soon!

DEAR HANNA will be here soon!



After the long, slow crawl toward publication, I realized today that DEAR HANNA hits shelves very soon - only 5 more weeks away!!! I haven't updated much here, so let me catch up a little and share our early reviews.

Also, a little birdie told me there will be a Goodreads giveaway starting soon, so stay tuned for that. And thank you to everyone who has already pre-ordered the book -- pre-orders make a big difference!

Lots of stuff will start to happen in the next few weeks. The best way to stay up-to-date is to follow me somewhere on social media. I'm most active on Twitter and Instagram, but I'm also on TikTok, Threads, and I have a Facebook Page. You can find all the links here.

Horror Panel at GPFOB


Hey there! As many of you have probably figured out, I don't make a ton of author appearances, so I'm extra-excited to be part of the Horror Panel at the Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books! The festival takes place on May 11, and there is programming from 10am-5pm that includes panels, talks, workshops - and there will be bookstores on hand, and food trucks! The festival is FREE, and is located at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, 616 N. Highland Ave., 15206.


The Horror Panel runs from 1:15 - 2:15, and if you'd like to guarantee your spot please register here. Following the panel we will all be signing books (copies will be available to purchase in the lobby of our venue) - and I will have some SWAG on hand! Magnets, bookmarks, stickers...! Hope to see you there!

Cover Reveal

 


And we officially have a cover for DEAR HANNA! The release date is Aug. 13, 2024 - but it's not too soon to preorder. (And I'm going to start collecting "fox" things!)

Zoje Stage delivers another knockout with a bone-chilling follow-up to international sensation Baby Teeth, taking readers back into the unsteady world of a young sociopath who's all grown up.
