I was saved from drowning at 9 yo. I literally would not be here today if that teenage lifeguard had not seen me go under, pulled me out, and resuscitated me on the dock. Big nod to lifeguards in my novel. #HowToBuildAMiracle

So, I too became a lifeguard in college. I dug up this old picture.

Ryder Williams bravely saved a 10-year-old boy from the surf.

Honoring lifeguards is a thread from my novel, #HOWTOBUILDAMIRACLE. Why? Because lifeguards are heroes.

At the age of nine, I was pulled off the bottom of a pond, unconscious; a teenage lifeguard saw me go under. #LiteralLifesaver

LOOK what’s arrived! I can’t believe I can finally hold these ARCs (advanced reader copies) in my hands! So grateful to my phenomenal editor @nancyrosep.bsky.social and the rest of “The Penguins” as well. ❤️🙏🏻 @penguinschoollib.bsky.social 🙏🏻❤️ Drops 2/16/27 #HowToBuildAMiracle

My brother, Michael Eric, passed away at 3yo. Shortly thereafter, my mother sealed this quote in tape and carried it in her wallet. It comforted me. My novel #HowToBuildAMiracle begins w/ this quote. MC is nicknamed Shakespeare as he loves words. But also nod for my bro ❣️ #mg #grief #mglit #mgreads

While writing a novel, I tend to collect weird little “connection things” for my desk. For #HowToBuildAMiracle I found this little boat and later small glass stars to fill it. The stars are especially sentimental to me as they remind me of my brother, Michael Eric, who passed when he was almost 4 💔
