RACE THE SANDS Book Necklace Countdown: Book 2

I'm counting down to the publication of my 20th book, RACE THE SANDS, out 4/21, by sharing pics of each #booknecklace my husband gave me to celebrate each of my prior books...

Book 2 (middle grade): OUT OF THE WILD, sequel to INTO THE WILD. In these books, the essence of fairy tales exists as a snarl of vines under Rapunzel's daughter's bed, so my husband gave me a #booknecklace that looks like a flowering vine.

The inspiration for both the Wild from INTO THE WILD and OUT OF THE WILD and Monster from THE GIRL WHO COULD NOT DREAM was my childhood fear of a tentacle monster who lived under my bed. I'd leap out of bed so it wouldn't snag my ankles.
