Welcome!
I read my first mystery in second grade, and I wrote my first mystery in third grade. It’s been a whirlwind of reading and writing ever since.

I travel all over the country talking about writing mysteries. I hope to meet you one day!

The Best Mother, a picture book
When Maxine wakes up on the wrong side of the bed one morning, she wonders if the problem might be her mother. What if she could try out a new mom who doesn’t make her brush her teeth or comb her hair?
“Surrisi’s concise writing explores this universal theme in … a fresh way … Goode’s recognizable pen-and-ink drawings with watercolor, gouache, and pastel suit the humorous and heartfelt story.” (School Library Journal)
