"Escape Artist" Arrives!

I'm happy to announce that Escape Artist, the second title in the "Anna Mei" series for middle grade readers, is now officially available! The continuing story of Anna Mei Anderson takes place during the summer between sixth and seventh grades. It's about the deepening of her new friendships, but also about how friendships are tested. What do you do when someone you care about is in trouble, and you suddenly feel like you're in over your head? Find out what Anna Mei does when she unexpectedly finds herself in this situation.

You can read the first chapter at the Pauline Books & Media website. My editor also wrote an article about it for their quarterly magazine. The book is available for online purchase ($8.95) through the publisher or at Amazon. It's also on the shelf at any of Pauline's bookstores, as well as some bookstores in mid-Michigan.

I'm still working out details for a public book signing next month and will be sure to post them as soon as they are available.

I can't wait to hear what you think of Anna Mei's adventures in Escape Artist. Please feel free to email me your comments, and if you'd like to write a review, I will bless you forever and also post it here. How can you pass up a deal like that?

Many thanks for all the encouragement you've sent my way over the past year as I worked to bring Anna Mei's story to life. To have people actually waiting for one of my books to come out is an unexpected and amazing delight!
