Imagine the mellifluous voice of Vincent Price reading you a bedtime story about an old woman with blood dripping down her lip while peeling the skin on her arm back like a banana.  Eewww! Exciting, huh?   

New York Times bestselling author, Tiffany D. Jackson takes the reader on a literary journey of twists and turns that will make you scream at the book during the day and leave the lights on at night. 

She is the QUEEN of a mean plot twist.  Where she takes the reader is not where they end up.  Don’t be mad; be glad.  Her books are just that GOOD.   

Pay close attention.  There's a bit of truth in all her stories as she gets them straight from the headlines.  

 Join me in the virtual living room as we discuss a few of Tiffany’s bestselling YA novels, White Smoke, Allegedly and Grown. 

I have a confession to make . . . I fell in love with Laurel Snyder at 👋🏽!

Parents, I declare! This lady has figured out the cure for the bedtime blues and never-ending request for, "just one more story, pleeeease?" You’ll never go to sleep! 😳

A hilarious twist on Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs and other tales. Oh! And, just for kicks, YOU get to decide how each story ends!

Join me in the virtual living room 🛋 for my interview with Geisel-Award winning author and poet, Laurel Snyder to discuss her new book, Endlessly Ever After, Pick Your Path to Countless Fairy Tale Endings!
