A cartoony black and white drawing of a skull on a stick. The skull is screaming "my eyes! Where are my eyes? I cannot see!" While an old woman looks on in disapproval.
This is my favorite thing I've drawn today

A surprise happy book birthday to me!
Iron Scars Book 2 is back from the printers. And is only finished because of the like, 3 strangers who messaged me saying either they loved the first book or their kid did, and wanted to know when I was going to finish it. Thank you!

This is happening in many states, Tennessee included (where I am). It’s easier and safer for the teachers to just get rid of classroom libraries. A horrible outcome, but I don’t see how anyone can blame them. These are the consequences of the lawmakers actions.
