Brenna Thummler has never robbed a mailbox or run away from home. She has far better things to do, like making soups and performing in local musical acts. She sometimes considers running away, of course, but when this thought occurs, she instead nestles away in her library and writes a story. She highly recommends this approach. It is how she was able to create the Sheets series as well as a couple of one-act plays and not get caught up with the likes of an outlaw.Learn more about Brenna’s books at brennathummler.com or follow her on Instagram at @brennathummler.Brenna Thummler has never robbed a mailbox or run away from home.
