So thrilled to announce that THE GHOUL OF WINDYDOWN VALE, coming September 28th, 2021, has been recognized as a Gold Standard novel by the Junior Library Guild!

One of the best parts about having a new book come out is hearing what others think of it. Of course, that can always be a little stressful, too, especially when it’s the opinion of another author whose work you admire…and who grew up in the same hometown as you. That’s why it was such an honor (and relief!) to hear from world-renowned teller of terrifying tales R.L. Stine:

“Don’t miss this book! It takes you to another world—and then terrifies you with surprise after surprise. Great ghoulish fun!”
—R. L. Stine, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street

Thank you, Mr. Stine!
