Pre-orders for my new book Sawyer Lee and the Quest to Just Stay Home have begun!
Sawyer Lee is an illustrated middle grade novel starring an unadventurous kid who’d rather dig a deep dent in the couch than make a mark on the world, as many in his illustrious family of astronauts, scientists, spies, champion athletes… blah blah blah… have. He has decided that after generations of effort, it’s time to spend one lifetime relaxing.
The problem is that Sawyer keeps getting caught up in the exhausting expectations of his wicked aunt Celia, his complex relationship with his ambitious other friend, Angela, and the shenanigans of everybody else in town hoping to win the yearly Gourd Thump festival celebrating nature’s dullest vegetable.
In this tale of mystery, treachery, conspiracy, plant husbandry, and an imaginary love triangle, Sawyer knows it will take a regrettable amount of energy to escape these entanglements and find a way back to his happy place on Gary’s couch, with a cozy throw blanket, a steaming mug of chamomile tea, and an empty schedule.
