Over the last few months, BOUNDERS landed in the hands of some very special people. I am so humbled and filled with gratitude over the kind comments by these authors. They are my idols!

“A richly detailed, highly imaginative world and a cast of clever, creative kids. Readers will be eager to bound into the next book.”

— Shannon Messenger, author of the Keeper of the Lost Cities series

“BOUNDERS is a joyful space adventure full of humor, friendships and action. This is a great sci-fi adventure for boys and girls alike. I had so much fun reading it!”

— S.J. Kincaid, author of the INSIGNIA series

“Fans of Ender’s Game will feel right at home in this fast-paced debut . . . I read it in a day, unable to put it down, and I look forward to more from this promising new author!”

— Wesley King, author of The Incredible Space Raiders from Space! and OCDaniel

I’m throwing a birthday party, and you’re invited!

I’m celebrating my October birthday with a BOUNDERS Pre-Order Party. If you pre-order BOUNDERS between October 6-20 and email me a picture of your order confirmation and a mailing address, I’ll give you a present.

All party participants will receive a custom BOUNDERS bookmark and signed bookplate, domestic mail only. If you have already pre-ordered, you can participate, too!

BOUNDERS can be pre-ordered through most major online retailers. More information about where to preorder can be found here. And my contact information is here.

BOUNDERS is now available for pre-order!

Pre-orders are extremely important for authors, so I really appreciate your support. You can pre-order BOUNDERS by clicking any of the links below.

Earlier this month, the BOUNDERS cover was revealed at Project Mayhem, a great middle grade writers’ blog. As part of the reveal, I interviewed the incredibly talented cover illustrator, Antonio Caparo, who gave a behind-the-scenes peek at the cover design process–with early stage illustrations! Check out Birth of a Cover Design: A Step-by-Step Reveal of BOUNDERS by Monica Tesler at Project Mayhem.

Welcome to my new website! I’m thrilled to share it with you. So much credit goes to my incredibly talented designer, Hafsah Faizal of Icey Designs. She helped me create a space that genuinely embodies me and my books. Take a look around. I may be biased, but I think it’s pretty spectacular!

As we march toward 2016 and the publication of BOUNDERS, I’ll use this space to share my journey with all of you. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride!
