Join me this Monday at 7pm at Anderson’s Bookshop for an evening filled with conversation, reflection, and connection. 'Courage to Dream' is more than just a book; it's a gateway to understanding and imagination. I'm excited to share this experience with you, delve into the stories, and hear your thoughts. Comment "I'm In" if you'd like to be part of this tour! Let’s make it a memorable night at Anderson’s!

5 years ago today I arrived in Naperville Illinois for the Naperville Reads book tour sponsored by Anderson’s Bookshop and Harper Collins that brought 12 middle grade authors together in -6 degree weather to tour around the city meeting 8,000 fifth graders in the area! It is also where I met my now husband John Kloepfer who was living in Brooklyn at the time! So basically our cross country meet-cute was an author who wrote about a talking dog meeting an author who wrote about zombies, which sounds totally cutesy and very made up, but yet really happened! One of the few times when real life proved better than fiction! • • • • #meetaversary #anniversary #napervillereads #howwemet #andersonsbookshop #aww #middlegradeauthor #awww #authorsofinstagram #meetcute #writerslife #writers #writersofinstagram #authorlife #tvwriter #screenwriter #booktour #bookstagram #2014 #relationshipgoals #romantic #marriagegoals #happilyeverafter (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbtScpAYiB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=st35rq4p722n
