I’m so excited to officially reveal the cover for my next book, MISS CAMPER, the sequel to my award-winning book MISS QUINCES!

With designs by @larssonmcswain and @shecallsmecdawg, and amazing colors by @josegaribaldi78, I’m absolutely obsessed with this beautiful cover!

🌲Sue is heading to Camp Willow this summer! She’s looking forward to hiking, archery, and making comics in the fresh air. She’s especially excited about LARPing (live-action role-playing) and can’t wait for the freedom of being away from home. But she won’t be far from family because her big sister, Carmen, is a camp counselor and her little sister, Ester, is a fellow camper and won’t give her any space! All Sue wants is to make memories with her friends, but they’re assigned to only a few of the same activities. To make matters even worse, her best friend, Sam, has a best camp friend named Marisol? And Sue’s good friend Izzy has a crush on Sue?! This summer isn’t at all going as planned! 🌲

Coming to a bookstore near you on June 3rd, 2025!!! I can’t wait for y’all to read it!! 😁

Yesterday I visited two wonderful schools in Elgin, TX and had a blast! 

I facilitated five comic presentations to 3rd-8th graders, sharing insights from my comics and publishing journey. After that, I provided a step-by-step tutorial on creating graphic novels with examples from my GN Miss Quinces. During the graphic novel lesson, the students and I collaborated on crafting a short comic together, resulting in a fun and engaging experience! Kids are so dang creative!😤👍

This year’s going to be the year where I attend STBF as a guest speaker~ 

Last year my back gave out and I missed my chance, not this time! 

So catch me at my comics making workshop at 12pm at the McAllen Library (4001 N 23rd, Mcallen TX 78504) followed by a book signing. 

Come in costume if you dare~ Bwhahaa
