SUGGESTED READING

When sixteen-year-old Clara Evans responds to her school's overreaching book ban by starting an underground library in her locker, she's one hundred percent sure she knows all there is to know about the importance of books and their impacts on the people who read them. But, when her secret book hustling sparks a wildfire of unforeseen self-doubt, confusing friendships, and life-altering consequences, she's forced to wrestle with what she's always believed about books and the freedoms that connect us to our world.

Don’t Tread on Me FAQ

Suggested Reading has been out for a little while now, and, since its release, I’ve gotten/seen the same two questions from readers quite, so I figured I’d add this little section to help everyone out.

**Is Don’t Tread on Me a real book?**

If you’ve read Suggested Reading, you’ll know that most of the chapters begin with quotes from books that have been banned. However, there is one book that appears at the beginning of the chapters that hasn’t been banned for a good reason, it doesn’t exist. It’s an imaginary book and, after a quick Google search, most realize this and come down with some big sad. Once readers figure this out, the next question typically is…

**Are you going to write Don’t Tread on Me?**

The answer to this is a little more complicated. The short answer is, I’d love to! Right now, though, I just don’t have the time to focus on it. However, I did try and pitch the story to my publisher pretty soon after the release of Suggested Reading to see if they’d want to publish it. They said “no”, but, the good news is, you need a few sample chapters and a synopsis in order to pitch your next book to a publisher, which means I did write some sample chapters and a full length synopsis.

Give me the things? Now? Please?

If you’re reading this, it’s possible that you now want to read these things, so, I’ll make you a deal.
