On February 14, I was finally able to officially share the cover of my new YA novel, Stealing Freedom! I am SO excited to share this story with the world and hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

In case you missed it, here it is!

Isn’t it beautiful? The cover design team seamlessly added so many various elements from the story into it and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. I can’t wait until you read it and see what I mean!

And fun fact: The postcard says Stealing Freedom in Morse Code.

Stealing Freedom will be available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook, wherever books are sold! Official release date is April 5! We’re hoping there are no delays since there have been some with other new releases due to shortages.

What is it about?

March, 1935. Everything about sixteen-year-old Popi Kapsulis’s life has changed thanks to the rumors of another Great War on the horizon. The Italian Forces have already closed the schools and churches on Popi’s small Greek island of Kalymnos, forced her people to learn Italian, and are now burning businesses to the ground—all in an effort to rebuild the island they’ve come to occupy. Life has become unbearable and Popi can only think of one thing: freedom. 

When Popi joins the Resistance, she rallies other island girls and forms a secret knitting society. Her plan is simple: she and the other girls will spy on the Italian troops and knit the intel into doilies using Morse code. The doilies will then be passed on to the Resistance to decode and take action. Her plan has the power to change the course of history, and as Popi’s espionage starts making a difference, freedom feels within her grasp.

Until she meets Emmanuel. Falling in love with the enemy was not part of her plan. Neither was getting caught. Before Popi knows it, everything she loves—her family, her friends, her life, and the freedom she has fought so hard for—is suddenly hanging by a thread.
