Can hardly believe it but Barnes & Noble picked my book “The Bakery Dragon” as the overall winner of their 2025 Children’s and YA Book Awards! This is such an unexpected honor, and truly doesn’t feel real still! It wasn’t long ago that this book was just a single drawing and a brain-wyrm of an idea. Thank you SO so much to every single person who supported and shared that drawing and encouraged me to take this little guy so far. I couldn’t have done it without you, and you received a special shoutout in my B&N blog about the win. And if you can believe it, I get to make even more! Book 2 is coming out in a few short months in October. I can’t wait to see how far Ember can fly!

Season's greetings, dearest goblinfam! Wishing each and every one of you a wonderful holiday season. ✨️

Be sure to check your pinecones for pinecone sprites, and your chimneys, fireplaces and stovetops for soot wyrms!

Pinecone sprites, as their names suggest, are only found in pinecones. These ghostly lil' creatures are mostly dormant throughout the year, and only emerge from their pinecone shelters during autumn and winter.

Soot wyrms are curious lil' critters which are commonly found in households, although you'll rarely see them apart from the tiny trails of soot they leave behind. They live in small groups and can be lured out with tiny pieces of coal, which they love snacking on. 🎄💖🎄
