Hi Rosanne. I added Written in Stone to the calendar. I am looking forward to reading it. Thanks for your comments!

I think you will enjoy it. I only learned about the residential schools as an adult since it wasn’t in my history classes so I found this book very interesting.

I think it’s important to bear in mind that the solution to the lack of diversity in children’s lit. lies, not just in getting more of it produced, but in finding what’s already in print and growing an readership for it.

My middle grade novel, Written in Stone, Random House, was released June 25th of this year. It’s about a Makah and Quinault family on the Olympic peninsula in 1923. I’d love to see it on your release calendar.
