Thanks! That's a solid list. I do need to circle back on the taxes again, but I made pretty good progress with my one day where I was feeling it, haha.

Folks, we're 3 days from the end of the campaign and we've only got $100 left to go. Who's gonna get us over the finish line? If you want queer romance on your shelves, back PASSING IN THE NIGHT, today!

I was a pretty devout Catholic until I was about 10yo. I didn't understand why women couldn't be priests.

Ahhh, the first distant rumbles of motorcycles. Early signs of spring in New Hampshire!

Monday #kidlit check-in: I have a quiet week to work on a newsletter, sketches for a PB dummy, and writing on an early reader idea. I'd like to work outside the house a bit this week too. How about you?

It's definitely a task that goes best if you are mentally prepared! And with a clear table too, haha.

H.R. 7661 would harm so many publishers, authors, and readers. Only the smallest sliver of human experience would make it onto shelves. If you think kids deserve the world, you are against this bill - please read this article and call your reps.

I'm sorry you are still having power issues! Sounds like you to make the best of things!

The little peek looks beautiful, Marlo! Glad to know you are getting some free painting time.

Friday #kidlit recap: I did all the fun work stuff, moved onto taxes (has to be done). How about you?

Argggh. I'm sorry. The kids still LOVE axolotls, so even with several books out, I don't see them fading in interest anytime soon!

Yesterday’s local school visit was so fun! And tiring! 😂 I presented to 400 K-2 in two assemblies, plus a few drawing workshops with 1st graders. Learn more at: ginaperry.com/school-visits

A middle-grade-aged girl wearing glasses, jeans and a frog-covered sweater holds a copy of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile and looks suspicious as she eyes the door of the library behind her. The door is ajar and a sign on it reads "Missing: Librarian." 
The text on the postcard reads "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, repped by Vicky Weber @ CMA."

Collage and paint illustration in pinks, greens, and yellows: a classroom scene where kids are raising their hands for a teacher who is holding a book called fish facts. One of the students is a bear under his desk, are fish and fish skeletons.
