It gives me immense joy when I discover an artist I admire has a Bluesky account I can follow. I’ve stopped following people on IG (won't see their posts anyway), and yes, I bookmark their websites, but this is my happy place to stalk people and their art :)

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your belief that a bookshelf with a rolling ladder will fix you is a valid one.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is not worthy of your friendship.

You know that feeling when your alarm goes off, and all you want to do is pull the door back over your tomb and sleep for a couple hundred years?

In honor of the late Dr. Jane Goodall.

“Each one of us must take responsibility of our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.”
Rest in peace 💚

Tribute to Dr. Jane Goodall- image of her holding a chimp surrounded by nature. May she rest in peace.

Scrolling through #kidlitartpostcard feels like wandering a digital museum where every wall bursts with whimsy, color, and pure kidlit magic.

Love this time of month.

Sometimes it feels like everything in the world is sliding backward, and it gets overwhelming.

And then I think about the art community—the people making and sharing work, supporting each other, keeping creativity alive. I’m just really grateful to be here with all of you.

My writing career summed up in one image:
A clown holds a cigarette and comments, "what the Hell was that?"

PSA: If you're an author & you get a chatty email from a marketer, or book club that praises your book & bashes Amazon's algo before offering to 'help', usually with 500 to 10,000 reviewers, it's just a ChatGPT automated marketing scam.

It's the new Nigerian prince email, brought to you by 'AI' 🙄.

This tweet wasn’t written by me but by my #kidlit social media manager, who was briefed by my PR rep, who heard it from my agent, who heard it from me.

Fame is exhaustting.
