As a kid, I wore the same yellow pin that said “I ❤️ TO READ” every day for five years. Today, I’m a published author

🚨I am so incredibly thrilled to reveal the cover for my YA thriller😭. This story about two Black teens, terrifying body swapping, and one girl’s race against time to figure out what the heck happened to her and if her best friend has a sinister secret was a dream to write! 🚨

It’s , a day meant to commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.

If a book that deals with a Black boy navigating PWIs, and commentary on who gets to rewrite history, interests you, preorder THE FOREST DEMANDS ITS DUE.

I kept So Many Beginnings period appropriate for a Little Women remix, which meant acknowledging Freedom Day. Thinking of this excerpt all morning, so I decided to share it.
