Today's November full moon is a beacon in our final preparations for winter, our shift into the darker season ahead—now is the time to slow down & go inward, focusing on what groundedness & security look like during these coming cold months, & beyond. 🌕

Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:

(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.

Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

🐈‍⬛ Agent post: it appears there are queries in the CAT submission inbox from last year that somehow didn't get sorted properly. If you submitted to me using the website guidelines & you didn't receive a reply last year, my apologies!

I do my best to respond to every query in the submissions inbox.

Tonight is September's full Corn Moon & lunar eclipse; like the harvest it’s named for, this moon reminds us to gather what has matured, let go of what we’re ready to release, & step gently into the autumn season ahead - a new chapter that the moon will guide us in. 🌕
