I'm THRILLED to share the cover of my speculative fiction debut, HOLLOWAY (pub date 5/4/26! art by Sarah Jarrett, cover designed by Corina Lupp & Jenna Stempel-Lobel). Autism? Anti-vaxxers? Art? Philosophy? Reverberations & cycles through history? If you say "yes, please," then HOLLOWAY is for you.

Total instances of book bans: I'm #6. Number of unique titles affected by book bans: I'm tied for #9 with @halseanderson.bsky.social. Number of districts in which the author is banned: I'm #3. Please don't say "Good for you." It's "Shame on them."

It's been 2+ years since I wrote this essay, but it seems like a good time to say this again: I'm autistic. I love my brain. And... if you meet one person with autism, you've met... one person with autism. We are not a monolith. But we are whole people, each of us.

My Beautiful Brain | Elana K Arnold
So! I’ve gone back and forth about whether to write this little essay or not. Obviously, I’ve landed on “yes.” But why I’ve decided to write it… well, I’m not so sure about that. Over the years since...

Somehow this is the first I've heard about Ms. Rachel. But wow. Humanity of all people--it shouldn't be revolutionary, but I guess it always has been.
Ms. Rachel grew up on Mister Rogers. Now she’s carrying on his legacy.
The YouTube star wants her audiences — adults and children alike — to see the humanity of all people.
