Being an author is amazing. Teaching students lessons that will change their lives? Even better.

IN OTHER'S WORDS
Jesse recently visited Tonkawa Middle School 8th grade students, where he spoke to them about his book Creepers as well as his other books that he is working on. He shared how he comes up with his ideas, how he got published, and also shared writing tips with the students. The students really enjoyed his fun interaction with them. In their words, he’s ‘terrific’ and ‘takes the most awesome selfies!'
