PREORDER NOW THE TIME HAS COME! After two years in the making, Demon Tide will be released on March 18! After months of editing, rewriting, and finalizing details on interior and cover elements, it’s over. What’s finished is finished. I think you’ll LOVE it.

Clean Author Spotlight Middle Grade Author J.J. Johnson Middle-grade author J.J. Johnson takes center stage as our Clean Author Spotlight this month. Not only are his stories hilariously off-the-wall, but they also serve a greater purpose: promoting healthy literacy by “challenging parents to unplug and encourage their kids to read more.” J.J. Johnson’s blog, Unplugged, […]
Trying to Explain Demon Tide to Wary Readers This past week we were at a writing conference for faith-based educators in Detroit and it was a blast. We met some awesome people and I was able to taste Nigerian food for the first time in my life. We had several teachers & administrators stop by […]
