I’m happy to announce that a book I wrote with friend and colleague Debbie Rickey is now on sale. The Habit of Passionate Teaching: Reflections on Teaching for Learning has been in the works for years. We interviewed and met with a number of teachers who shared what kept them in the teaching profession. We also shared anecdotes from our own teaching and leading experiences. We found some common threads and ended up writing about practices of passionate teachers that lead to the habit of passionate teaching.
I am scheduling book talks focused on Families of Two Fires, starting with a book signing on Saturday April 27 in Indianapolis at the Indiana Historical Society. This is my third historical fiction novel for middle grades students, but I hope readers of all ages will enjoy reading about early Indiana history.
If you’re wondering if I’m going to continue writing about Rachel Chance and her Greyhounds, the answer is yes. I’m currently working with an editor on a book that may or may not be titled A Jazzy Greyhound Mystery. I’m including some jazz history from Indiana in the early twentieth century. Have you heard of Jelly Roll Morton? If not, check out my third mystery which should be ready summer of 2024.
