Emerald City Comic Con Virtual Panel Screening: Finding Truth in Fiction – The heart within YA worlds

I was so thrilled to film this panel with my editor at Legendary Comics, Nikita Kannekanti, and fellow Legendary YA authors Kelly Zekas (Championess), Tarun Shanker (Championess), and Mickey George (The Heart Hunter), showcasing some of the recent and upcoming releases. I loved talking about Tragic, my Hamlet retelling heading to shelves in Fall 2022, and hearing more about Championess and The Heart Hunter (out now!)

Classroom Closeup NewJersey Segment Re-Airing

Part of an author Q & A I participated in was filmed for an Emmy award-winning local TV show, and I was even quoted briefly in the final cut! It's amazing to see the hard work these 8th graders put in to complete the NaNoWriMo challenge--something many adults don't do. Many thanks to Kristy Shurina at Bridgewater Raritan for putting this wonderful learning experience together for the young authors.
