I’m so excited to announce that my new middle grade novel with Capstone Publishing/Stone Arch Books, CAMP AWKWARD, will release on August 1, 2026! CAMP AWKWARD, is a fun, summer camp adventure about Cassie and Francine and their unlikely friendship. I can't wait for young readers to meet these two new characters!

**City girl Cassie Bonilla feels like a fish out of water at a wilderness camp until she opens herself up to a friendship with the fun and outgoing Francine.**

CAMP AWKWARD is a perfect read for kids ages 8-11 (grades 3-6), this is a story all about making new friends and coming of age when you feel out of place in new surroundings.

The book is available for purchase from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and can be requested at your local public library.

Every reader counts to me. I hope you’ll enjoy this fun book!
