Good morning, everyone. I hope your Sunday is going well. Yesterday, I was among the authors present at the third annual IABX Children’s Book Festival in Roselle, New Jersey. It was my first time in attendance, since, as many of you know, I have a forthcoming children’s book, Stand On Ganymede.
I had the opportunity to discuss what inspired me to write the book and share some of my current publications as well.
While at the festival, I met a few new fellow authors. Among them are Rey Banda, Author of “The Son And The Stars”, Tiffany Jacobs, and Romalita Harrison.

A few book vendors were present also, including Scholastic, and L’Ouverture Books Beans and Gifts, an online bookstore.

This was the earnest kick-off of my summer book tour, and I am grateful that I was able to attend. I appreciate everyone who visited my table to ask about my writings, children and adults alike.
The next stop of my summer book tour is the Schomburg Literary Festival in Harlem with the Harlem Writers Guild
That will be on Saturday, June 14th, 2025.
