It's my Birthday!


It's my Birthday!

April 9, 2026

Hello Reader,

Today is my birthday! I'll be celebrating by buying too many books, and hanging out with my amazing family.

This weekend, I'll also be participating in my first festival, The Druid City Arts Festival, with my fellow Tuscaloosa Writers and Illustrators Guild (TWIG) members. If you are attending the festival, please stop by my booth to chat! I'll be selling and signing books!

Also, since it is my birthday, if you have not bought my book, please consider doing so here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Chase-Harlem/Elise-Burke-Brown/9781998076789

As always, thank you for reading!
