Double Crossed: The WWII spies Who Saved D Day Author/Native Michigander Rebecca Barone joins in to discuss her new book.

DOUBLE CROSSED doesn't come out for another 2 months, but I'm thrilled to have had this opportunity to talk about it already!

Thank you to Shelley Irwin at WVGU, Western Michigan Public Radio, for inviting me to be on her program!

The first rockets to put American satellites and astronauts into space were built from designs created for Hitler.

This is the story of their invention. The history of the man who built them. And the US program that allowed Nazis to become Americans.

This is a story you need to know.

FIVE years ago!!

...and now Book #4 is coming out in April, with #5 & #6 in 2027 🤯

One of my favorite teachers growing up had a sign that said Mistakes Allow Thinking to Happen (MATH)...which honestly helped a lot

Good choice!! The white ones are my favorite!

Write some words, get a jelly bean...

One of those days where I'll do what I hav to do to get words on a page!

So fun!

Thank you!! I'll check it out!

Reader friends! I'm searching for some rather specific titles.

What are others like Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales: Above The Trenches?

Think graphic novel (fiction or non!), lots of planes, and fighting in WWI or WWII (or any war)

Any and all reading levels

Would LOVE to hear your suggestions!

I had such a wonderful time talking with Mary! Huge thanks to her for this interview!!

...and be sure to check out her book review page, too! She has such kind things to say about UNBREAKABLE 🤩 youtu.be/Vpyk8OmrL3E

I'm thrilled to be participating in School Library Journal's Day of Dialog even tomorrow!

It's a free, virtual event, and I'd love to see you there!

I've never thought of emotional regulation as a tool against AI, but that is a powerful idea! Thank you

Thank you!! This one means a lot to me!

I am so, SO excited to finally share my *fiction* debut!!

I can't wait to tell you more about Lily, Charlotte, Rose, and Rhys.

Huge thanks to @michaelbourret.bsky.social!

This was one of my favorite visits!! Your students were so into the battle of the books! 🔥❤️

Thank you for such a glowing review!! ❤️ I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this book!

How would I even begin to quantify the other forms of research for a book? Interviews? Museum visits?? If only there was a way to easily describe it... 😂

(I could count the books, add up pages, tally interview minutes, number visits and trips. Heavens, no. That would be way too convenient 😉 )

There is nothing - nothing, I tell you! - more frightening than a blank page!

Anyone else sit down to turn an idea into an outline...a draft...an anything!... and spend the first bit just panicking?? Anyone? Just me? 😬🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes! Public libraries are great! Summer reading programs are so wonderful!

#TLSkyChat A7: I'm an author, and author visits drop *way* off in the summer. Are you involved with any book clubs - even virtually! - that authors could visit? I see so much reading joy being generated when I visit with students. How can we authors help spark this joy over the summer?

Ooo! I *loved* THE CARREFOUR CURSE! Can't wait to read this one, too

Glad you hear you tested twice. You can never been too careful in these kinds of situations!
