I completed two #writing sprints this morning and was crying like my MC was crying by the end of it. We joke about torturing our characters but aren't we just torturing ourselves because we love them so much?

🎉🎉🎉 So excited for A Bike Is Not Just A Bike to be released into the world! As an 80s kid with ADHD the bicycle was an important part of building my confidence, self-esteem and managing my focus. Hoping other little girls see themselves in these pages and are inspired to do the impossible.

Say hello to @brennajeanneret.bsky.social author of A Bike Is Not Just A Bike illustrated by Michelle Pereira. This #NF #PB describes how the bicycle ushered in the Women's Revolution. And no matter your gender, age, or race the bicycle is more than just a bike–it's freedom.

Happy holiday festive time! For #kidlitartpostcard I drew the main characters from my tween graphic novel project in crafty “ugly sweaters.” They’re both collectors, so I imagined them laughing in a corner of the secondhand shop where she works, sifting through old buttons.
