Dear Aunt Patty, I'm still here in South America. It's a strange place, the jungle. It's hot and wild and I don't know what to make of all of it. I just wanted to send a note to let you know that Mrs. Bumble, Dolly, Kat and I are hiking through the jungle tomorrow. We have a lead on dad. I know you are thinking of your brother (my father) Frank and so am I. After I got to see him again in the Black and White Sister's cabin, my heart grew three sizes! I had missed him so much

Hello friends of Ms. Mulligan! I am excited to share a sneak peek at the new cover for book 2 in the Ms. Mulligan series - Ms. Mulligan and the Council of Butterflies. I'm working hard to get the book ready for publication but wanted to share the wonderful cover design by my friends at S Squared Design. I hope you love it as much as I do!

She almost choked a lady with her magnolia body spray on the bus from the airport. Seriously. We are here now at the Hotel Catala in the middle of nowhere . . . it's run by the Catala family and Mrs. Bumble's Aunt Ruby. I get the feeling Aunt Ruby is pretty connected, like, to the Council of Butterflies

So this entry from my mom's old diary kinda freaked me out. Won't lie. I was just learning about the creepy sisters, Mary and Meredith, who the kids all called the Black and White Sisters because one had hair as white as snow and the other had hair as black as a raven's wing. I got my chance to meet these girls - well, now they're old cronies - when they kidnapped me and tried to use my blood to restore their own youth and beauty. Scary with a capital SCARE. But thanks to my

When Mrs. Bumble told me about the Jewels of Jericho in the barn that night, I thought she was a little nuts. But after the girls and I heard that the Black and White Sisters had swooped in and stolen my father and taken him to South America, I started to think . . . maybe it wasn't so crazy after all? I was really confused when Bumble - who is always a little out there - started talking about how I was her sacred 'charge' or 'responsibility' or something. And then she said I

Tabby sat back in her seat, swatted a mosquito from her arm, and said, "Ouch." The bus rumbled and wobbled along a rocky road, every now and then dropping wildly into a pothole, sending Tabby flying off her seat a foot into the air. With her five-foot-seven frame, she was better able to steady herself by grabbing the seat in front of her. Kat and Dolly, however, were popped into the air like hot, buttered kernels. "When is this goin' to be over?" said Dolly, in the seat next

Here's our best from 2018 . . . pop these blog posts in the microwave for 30 seconds and reheat the fun! Looking forward to 2019 as Tabby, Kat, and Dolly journey to South America to pursue the evil Black and White Sisters and find Tabby's dad in Ms. Mulligan & the Council of Butterflies, coming out this year! #MsMulligan #msmulliganandtheenchantedicecream #MsMulliganandtheCouncilofButterflies #Tabby #Kat #Dolly #middlegradereading #kidlit
