A friend found a copy of my first #middlegrade novel on display at a school library. It's been a minute since it was published, so this was gratifying, to say the least. Yeah, I'll be living off that for the rest of the year. #childlit #humor #sciencefiction #Booksky #Booksandwriting

A child reading in the dark by flashlight in a camping tent.
Recognize yourself in this? I do. This is a grand of mine and I got a tear in my eye when I saw it. I never post pics of grands, but this should be seen by all of us who love reading, writing and anything in between. #amwriting #5amwritingclub #romancelandia #booksandwriting #reading #booklovers

Early morning vibes…re-reading my own book to find quotes and give a light edit before launching the kickstarter with the brand new cover….
Side note, this is my absolute favorite blanket, handmade by my mother-in-law. 🥰

I get emails from Fitzcarraldo Editions and today's was for their shortlist for the 2024 Novel Prize. They sound interesting and the writing innovative. I think New Directions might distribute them in the US. #booksandwriting #booksky #literaryfiction

Image of fireworks with text saying: We are less than an hour away from 2025, and I want to wish friends, acquaintances, and my readers a shiny, sparkly start to this newest of years. May 2025 be filled with love, peace, and kindness for all, and may the horrors of 2024 fade into our increasingly more complicated past. Mostly, though, I hope we all do better, see further, listen harder, and love more fiercely. Go well and go gently, my friends. Happy New Year!
Here's wishing the new year brings us a fresh start, and new hope.
