WHAT WE WISH FOR got a Starred Review from School Library Journal! SLJ's overall verdict: "This story of a teen’s life with a single mom fighting addiction is often harsh and tense, but it remains honest, believable, and quite engaging.”

My upcoming novel WHAT WE WISH FOR is getting some great buzz. Booklist is a huge trade review, so this is very exciting for me.

This was my wish for a long, long time--to see this book get published. I almost gave up, but I kept revising, kept trying to make it better. To quote the great poet Langston Hughes, "Hold fast to dreams."

A rare night out for Adam and me. Spent the evening with friends and saw a great band—Private Stock with Jim Dix, husband of Cathy Castelli. Sadly I didn’t get pics of the band but they were awesome! They’re next playing this Friday at Tavalino’s in Coral Springs @privatestockbnd

Writers, don’t lose hope! It took almost 4 years (and several deep revisions) to land this book deal, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. #amwriting #YA #WritingCommunity

@therealmbeller @seymouragency @BlackstoneAudio Thank you! After many revisions and rejections, I was almost ready to give up. So glad I kept working on it.

[Melody Maysonet @MelodyMaysonet]

It’s been a long road but I just signed a deal to publish my 2nd novel, about a homeless girl who juggles high school, a sudden influx of money and an alcoholic mom. Huge thanks to my agents at the @seymouragency and to @BlackstoneAudio
