How many months -- years? -- will my longing to have known her last? You did such good in the world, Jane. #JaneGoodall

Jess Keating @jesskeatingbooks.bsky.social · 19d

An inspiration for my entire life.
Thank you Jane, for your wisdom, your intelligence, your heart, and your sheer guts.

We'll try to carry on and make you proud.

Writing my series, I had the luxury of writing in all seasons, almost in real time. By that i mean a filly conceived in book 3 wasn't born until book 12.

Close to what I learned when I taught in downtown Los Angeles. Animal stories can touch the hardest hearts.

SPIRIT RIDING FREE is a great comp

Terri Farley @terrifarley.bsky.social · 9d

Piece of cake making comp titles for books of others, but not for my Phantom Stallion series. My publishers keep returning to BLACK BEAUTY. Love it, but so dated. Closest I can come = YELLOWSTONE for middle graders : ( #KidLitChat #MG

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Sorry for the gross s/v agreement in the above post. Blame my fingers.

Especially in the beginning, all the help that I actually used has come from #SCBWI workshops and friends #kidlitchat

An editor told me that she was buying my book despite my synopsis. I am pretty good at titles, though. I've named several published book that aren't mine. #KidLitChat

These young barrel racers didn't see themselves among rodeo and gymkhana contestants, but that didn't stop them for riding into a new sport. Enjoy their story here tinyurl.com/2xaserhd #BarrelRacing #horses #YoungRiders #RidersofColor #BlueBirdRiders #sisters #MG
