EA #5 Pre-Order Special

I'm thrilled to share that Explorer Academy #5: The Tiger's Nest is launching in less than two weeks! Its original release date was set for October but in this crazy year, things were pushed back three months (which has felt like FOREVER!).

For pre-orders only, I'm personalizing all books ordered through The Neverending Bookshop and including an exclusive EA pin (while supplies last), so be sure and get your order in BEFORE January 5,2020 to take advantage of this offer. You can email the store at: theneverendingbookshop@gmail.com or call (425) 425-1945.

As always, thank you for supporting my work, as well as your local independent bookstores.

Happy New Year, everyone!

FAN-tastic Creations

Wow! How fun to open my June/July Issue of National Geographic KIDS magazine to a full two-page spread of amazing art done for the Art Zone section by readers of EXPLORER ACADEMY! Wow, you are talented bunch out there and it's been terrific to see your drawings and paintings of characters from the EXPLORER ACADEMY universe.

Ever since the first book in the series, The Nebula Secret, was published, you've shared your artwork, posters, tee shirts, dioramas, and LEGO sculptures with me. You've sent links to your YouTube movie trailers, book reviews, and even re-recreations of your favorite scenes from the series. I love it all and can't thank you enough for embracing the world of EXPLORER ACADEMY. Keep sharing your fan fiction, art, videos, and more! I love seeing how EA inspires you.

Dare to Explore!

A Live Author Event

The first thought that came to my mind as I began writing this was, I sure miss you! As we navigate these challenging times, I so miss doing all that I usually do when a new book releases: connecting with readers, parents, and educators through school visits, bookstore signings, festivals, workshops, and other events. So, what's the next best thing? A virtual visit, of course!

You're invited to join me for a FACEBOOK LIVE event on Tuesday, March 31, 2020 at 10 am PST, 1 pm EST. I'll chat about the new book, The Star Dunes, share some inside scoop, answer your questions, and give away a few goodies (really nice tote bags!). Just hop on to my author FB page at www.facebook.com/truditrueit to connect.

I'm looking forward to "seeing" old friends and meeting new ones.

Stay safe and well, everyone!
