🎉 I have a very exciting announcement to make!

My fourth novel, SECRETS AT SPARHAWK POINT, releases on August 25, 2026 from Holiday House! 🎉

The amazing cover is by Stephanie Son, who has created all of my book covers!

And here’s the description:

***
To draw tourists to their declining coastal town, a group of children claim to have seen a mythic creature from Ojibwe legend, the storm-monster Mishi-Biizhiw. But when their plan backfires, they’ll need to convince everyone the beast is only make-believe. But… what if it isn’t?

1943. Sparhawk Point, Michigan may be a small town, but it’s home. For the Swedish Ahlstrom girls, it’s the only place they’ve ever known—a place they may have to leave if their father’s church can’t find more parishioners. The Ojibwe Robicheaux boys are struggling, too: a lack of tourists means no income from their mother’s two rental cottages. These kids can’t bear the thought of leaving… so they’ll have to make new residents come to them, and fast.

After spotting an unknown object in the water, they find their solution. Drawing on inspiration from Ojibwe stories of the mysterious Mishi-Biizhiw—the riser of storms on Lake Superior—the children spread stories of their very own “American Loch Ness monster” to bring curious visitors to their shores. But their plan works too well! People become afraid to visit. To save their families, they’ll need to convince everyone that the creature isn’t real… even if that may prove to be their biggest lie yet.

I am so excited for August and can’t wait for you to read this story!
