 RUN! Run Faster! Had so much fun creating this short video for the book. Editing, finding the right clip, and sound were hard, but I think I got it right. Please tell me what you think? The Missing Moo   Secrets of Whisper Pine A city girl, a missing cow, and a cute boy face a dangerous stranger. When everything in Emily’s world starts falling apart, all she can do is get answers and run! A quiet summer turned upside down. A city girl meets a farm boy, but when Daisy the cow goes missing, her search for answers uncovers something far worse. Strange clues, dark woods, and locked doors only pull her deeper—until she realizes someone dangerous is watching her every move. The more she learns, the clearer it becomes: Whisper Pine is not the town it pretends to be. And if Emily keeps digging, she could lose more than Daisy— she could lose everything. Fans of small-town thrillers, coming-of-age suspense, and heart-pounding mysteries will be hooked from the very first page.

Or when a student sneaks up behind you while you're shopping and says, “Hey… I know you.” And then their parent looks at you like 'Who?' I’ve even heard a parent whisper, “How do you know that man?” And now I’m standing there holding a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread, trying to explain that I’m not some random stranger who talks to children for fun—I work at the school! But honestly? There’s nothing like the feeling you ...
