Neuro and Mental Diversity in Middle Grade Fiction

Feb 10, 2019

Weird. Dumb. Cry baby. Cold. Strange. Crazy. Irritating. Distant. Frustrating. Dense. Scary. Stupid. Confusing. Sad. Difficult. Pathetic. Unfriendly. Freak.

Writing for Middle Grade

Feb 10, 2018

In the spring of 2016, during my first-ever author panel, the moderator asked a question that gave me pause. “Why do you write about death?” For a moment, I was flummoxed. I didn’t think of Counting Thyme as a book about death. I thought of my debut middle grade novel...
