I have some exciting news to share about my upcoming middle grade supervillain story, The Worst Villain Ever!

First, reviews are starting to roll in. I'm delighted that Kirkus Reviews described The Worst Villain Ever as:
A lighthearted and entertaining play on the title's double meaning."
Yay! ALSO, The Worst Villain is now available on NetGalley for the month of September! ​If you are a book reviewer, a librarian, or book seller, please click on the button below to request your copy!  If you have colleagues who may be interested, please feel free to share this NetGalley link as well:  http://netgal.ly/EaENAP

About the book: 
​Any villain worth his lockpick will tell you it’s bad to be good, but George can’t quite hide his horrifying niceness. To improve his class ranking in villain school, he accepts an impossible assignment to defeat the greatest superhero ever...who has a big problem of his own.

Pre-orders are up NOW! If you see the old November release date on your favorite book seller's platform, don't worry-- your book will still be available on October 18th. It just takes some websites longer to update.

You can find the links of your favorite places to buy books online here:
​ IndieBound | Barnes & Noble | Amazon US  | ​Amazon UK | Books-a-Million |​​ 

​Did you know that local indie bookstores can order books for you if it's not on the shelves? Most also ship. There are now three in my local area:

 The Twig Book Shop    Nowhere Bookshop    Cibolo Chicks Bookstore   

Or search for your local indie: ​bookshop.org/pages/store_locator
And you can add it to your list on Goodreads, too!


​Note: The ebook will only be available on Kindle, at least at first, as it will be in Kindle Unlimited, but paperbacks will be available online anywhere books are sold.  Pricing may vary based on distributer discounts.

Pre-orders are so helpful to authors, but another way you can support this book without any cost to you is by requesting it from your local library!  You can tell them it:
  • is a great fit for chapter book readers ready for the next level
  • celebrates kindness without being didactic
  • has silly footnotes for all ages to enjoy
  • is fun, fast, and funny

About the book:

When eleven-year-old George Pruwell is finally admitted to the Academy of Villainy and Wrongdoing, he has big plans of making his family proud, especially his older brother Alex. Unfortunately, unlike his brother, George is anything but villainous. To secure a slot in the school's best class roster and prove himself worthy of his family's wonderfully wicked name, he takes on a nearly impossible assignment: defeat Captain Perfectus, the world's greatest superhero.
 
Now, George has to figure out how one too-nice-villain-in-training can defeat the most impressive superhero of all time. Alex offers his help, but George isn’t so sure he wants to use his big brother's methods. And when Captain Perfectus turns out to have some seriously big problems of his own, George must choose whether to follow his instincts and help the superhero or crush him and become the most villainous Pruwell ever.
