Congratulations Sara Petersohn winner of a wonderful YA novel, SEVEN PERCENT OF RO DEVEREUX , from Ellen O’Clover. Sara, please email me at ljrwritenow at G mail dot com with your mailing address so that I can connect you to your prize.
Readers, if you missed Tuesday’s interview with middle grade author Mary Boone whose nonfiction book BUGS FOR BREAKFAST, How Eating Insects Could Save the World, grab a snack and go back and read it.
Coming in February, I have interviews with Beth Anderson, well known picture book biography author and Catherine Ciocchi who has a picture book that combines baseball and science, two of my favorite things. I don’t want to give away too much now, but it’s a home run!

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.
