Something new (and slightly crazy) happened this past week … in the safety of CJ’s closet.
Award Winning Series
Moonbeam Children’s Book Award. Guess what came in the mail last week! I couldn’t make it to the awards ceremony in Traverse City, Michigan, so the Jenkins Group mailed my award packet. Byways received an award in the “Best Book Series – Chapter Books” category!
“The Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and to support childhood literacy and life-long reading. The Awards recognize and reward the best of these books and bring them to the attention of parents, booksellers, librarians – and to children themselves.” Continue reading Award Winning Series

BYWAYS: Summer Reading Sale
One of my favorite parts of summer as a child was reading. In addition to weekly trips to the library for sacks of books, I owned several series that I would reread each summer. If you’re looking for a summer adventure and e-books are your thing, I’m giving you a heads up. For a limited time, the Byways e-books are going on sale! Continue reading BYWAYS: Summer Reading Sale
Update! I’ve spent the last couple months deep in Liberty, wrapping up manuscripts for the next three Byways Books. Time to launching into editing mode! Meanwhile, the illustrations are coming along beautifully. This trio is momentous because with books #11, #12, and #13, we’ve now covered the thirteen original colonies! (And hey, did you notice that there’s a circle of 13 stars on the cover? Rangers also wear cloak pins with thirteen stars.) Look forward to Byways #11, Beneath the Torch: A Ewan Johns Adventure (NY), which is our first brother crossover, Byways #12, In the Middle: A Zane Johns Adventure (NC), and Byways #13, Among the Tents: A Ganix Johns Adventure (RI). They’ll be releasing this summer!
