My Interview With Good Day Sacramento TV Host, cODY sTARK!

 In my most recent Good Day Sacramento Book segment I spoke with New York Times Bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen about her newest book ONE WRONG STEP, coming out on March 4th 2025! Be sure to watch my Good Day & be sure to read Jennifer’s books. They are some of my all time favorites historical fiction novels & will be yours too.  
 

Many thanks to my bow tie wearing twin Cody Stark

for the opportunity to share book joy on TV! 

 It’s time for my November Good Day Sacramento book review segment! This month I spotlighted 3 special stories! 1st up, just in time for Giving Tuesday, MAKE YOUR MARK, MAKE A DIFFERENCE by Joan Marie Galat,  & next up, BUFFALO DREAMER, a 2024 National Book Award Finalist, by author Violet Duncan & last but not least, for younger readers, the picture book WHEN DIGZ THE DOG MET ZURL THE SQUIRREL by actor/author Chris Pine.

Thanks to my bow tie wearing pal Cody Stark for making my TV dreams come true!  

 For my September Good Day Sacramento TV segment I'm speaking with Mayor Pro Tem Karina Talamantes about why it's important to VOTE YES ON MEASURE E! "Measure E" costs nothing extra and it will keep our Sacramento Public Library system open 5 days a week, which is vital to our community! Libraries provide safety for kids, give people of all ages access to books, and offers amazing programs for our community! Watch my short, but important video and find out how you can help support our libraries! I don't promote much in the way of politics on my platform, but when it comes to books, reading and access to libraries, I'll always use my voice & speak up!  

So many books so little time! In my June Good Day Sacramento Book Review Segment, I talk about four fantastic reads, perfect to kick off your summer reading!  You'll learn a bit about the YA meaningful and powerful book, SOME KIND OF HATE by critically acclaimed author Sarah Darer Littman, the adventure seeking & girl power story, CHARLIE THORNE AND THE ROYAL SOCIETY by  New York Times Best Selling author & my pal, Stuart Gibbs,  the incredible YA story, WIDE AWAKE NOW, by ground-breaking Author & film maker, David Levithan, and last but not leas,  the beautiful & inspiring picture book,  GORGEOUSLY ME! By Emmy-nominated TV personality and New York Times bestselling author, Jonathan Van Ness . Don't forget to check these books out at your local library or keep them forever by picking one up from your nearby book story! Happy Summer Reading!
