Wow!
This sassy cat has STARS (plural) in her eyes.
Yep, she just got her second starred review.
One from Kirkus and now a new one from Booklist.

Yesterday we enjoyed a post-Thanksgiving gathering with a few friends

I post this each Thanksgiving. This year it feels even more poignant, knowing that I live in the beauty of the mountains of Western North Carolina, where people just like you and me have suffered great and tragic losses over the last two months from the impact of Hurricane Helene. 

Thanksgiving lunch with Steve at Snowbird Lodge, Robbinsville, NC.

This cool cat is walking under her own STAR.
She got a STARRED reveiw from Kirkus Reviews

AND she is available for PREORDER now 😎

Join me in congratulating my dear friend, Kylene Beers on receiving the 2024 James Squire award.

The James Squire Award, the most prestigious award given by NCTE, is a lifetime achievement award given in recognition of the recipient’s contributions to the profession.

Such a delight to see A Cat Like That proudly prancing across the banner in the Peachtree booth. She’s ready to pounce into the world on January 7, 2025

#NCTE24

Heading to Boston for NCTE. I hope to see you there.
