I did an interview with the wonderful #middlegrade #fantasy author #leslieadame for the first book in her #chloevega series. If you haven't had a chance to read this very timely magic school book, I highly suggest picking it up.

Happy book birthday to @leslieadame.bsky.social for her debut, Chloe Vega and the Agents of Magic. A new Latinx middle grade fantasy where a secret magical academy, an evil sorcerer, & a powerful, coveted gem awaits one girl in her quest to reunite her family. Perfect for fans of Claribel A. Ortega!

GEOZOOLOGY got its first starred review! Thank you to the folks at @ala-booklist.bsky.social!

An edited panel from the graphic novel LU AND REN'S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY. Lu holds her face in her hands, stars in her eyes, and says, "BOOKLIST *STARRED* REVIEW??"

Illustrated graphic with an excerpt from the Booklist review of LU AND REN'S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY. The excerpt reads: "Migrating guinea pig mountains, island-size axolotls, and floating bands of cloudlike jellyfish are just a few of the delightfully imaginative geozoological phenomena in Hsieh’s clever debut graphic novel... This smart, grounded, and gentle fantasy is a quiet standout."

List of arts orgs that have lost their National Endowment for the Arts funding, including the small press I work for in my day job.

$2.8 million in funding. A small drop in bucket for the federal govt overall budget, but a devastating amount for these arts orgs.
