Hey friends!

Happy Friday night to you all! 

And welcome to our new subscribers!

As many of you know, I am in the throes of writing Sharkbait, Book Three in The Natural History Series. It's so fun hanging out with Calliope and Mabel again, and of course... Louise. It's her book after all, so it's her turn to take center stage!

If you've read Flirtasaurus and Lovebug, you know that Lou is a marine biologist-in-training. This means when I'm not writing or in the recording booth, I'm deep diving in my son's Sharkopedia book, heading on family trips to the aquarium and dreaming out all the fun to be had in this underwater world I'm cooking up for you.

And guess what?
I could use your help!
