As if Trump isn't openly planning to pardon everyone involved in a literal insurrection. As if pardons are ever not political. Do better, BBC.

Hello, new followers! I write weird magical books for young people, and the next one, A SPELL TO WAKE THE DEAD, comes out next summer with Putnam/PRH. In my spare time I like to knit, practice yoga, and read tarot. Looking forward to connecting! Oh and here is a picture of one of my cats.
