Presenting...Merits of Mischief!

A single red apple. A fallen substitute teacher. A secret school nestled deep in the mountains.

And Seamus Hinkle, a great kid and natural, accidental...Troublemaker.



For regular blog visitors, this is the first book of my new middle-grade series—or the project formerly known as Troublemakers. I think the new title suits the cover, which I absolutely LOVE, perfectly!

For a behind-the-scenes look at how the cover came to be, as well as some earlier versions, check out this post by the super talented artist, Gilbert Ford. http://gilbertford.com/news/?p=1175

I've been so excited to share this, and I hope you like it as much as I do!
