April is Autism Awareness Month (or Autism Acceptance Month, as we are trying to move forward from just being aware of autism to accepting those who are autistic, being inclusive, and challenging stigmas.) Check out my blog post on celebrating neurodiversity and inclusion.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

Here and Gone really grabbed me by the gut more than once. Author Haylen Beck delivers a gripping and intense thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. The story follows Audra Kinney, a mother whose worst nightmare comes true when her children are taken from her. As Audra fights to find her missing children, she is met with disbelief and opposition at every turn. The novel is filled with nasty players, wealth, dark web, and a dying town. To what lengths will a mother go to protect her children?

Beck’s writing is sharp and compelling, drawing readers into Audra’s desperate search for her children. The small town setting adds to the sense of isolation and danger, as Audra navigates a web of deceit and betrayal. I was really on the edge of my seat much of the time reading this book and just wanted her to get her kids back!

Here and Gone will leave you breathless. Get ready for a heart-stopping ride with this one!

Now, I’m going to find Sean and Louise. You can either help me or get out of my way. Which is it?
