Book Nook Book Club Pick of the Month
Remarkably Bright Creatures
by Shelby Van Pelt
A heart-warming story about friendship, loneliness, and healing from grief—told in the most unexpected way.
I fell in love with each character and loved the reminder that connection can change your life.

From the Writing Desk…
I'm currently working on three very different writing projects. I can't wait to share them with you, and I'll post updates here as each one gets a little closer to becoming a real book.
Children's Picture Book
A heartwarming children's story about compassion, friendship, and celebrating our differences, told through the eyes of an eight-year-old boy named Ryan.
Middle Grade Mystery
An early chapter book mystery following twins who spend the summer with their grandparents and stumble into a mystery that only they can solve with the help of someone unlikely.
My Novel
My very first novel has been quietly growing for several years. I'm keeping this one under wraps for now, but you'll be the first to know when it's ready to meet the world.
The Line That Lingered
"You can't fix someone who is determined to stay broken."
