☺️ Thank you! Her brother is also quite fashionable.

I'm excited to read Abbie Harlow's debut novel, The Butterfly's Sting.

The Life of a Showgirl: Alina's Version 🧡🙃

Message from my dogs:

It's our dad's birthday! Dogs of the world, treat yourselves to the cookies in your homes! Today's a celebration!🥳🎉

🙏 💚

Simon, Alina, and I are looking forward to getting our hands (and paws) on a copy of your book, Jessie!

A hunk for a skunk, a pound for a hound...

😂😂😂 Understandable. We were, after all, talking cheese.

Ooh, snippets for whippets! Maybe that can be book two, Jessie! Simon would be happy to model. For cheese, of course.

So you're saying OODLES OF NOODLES is for oodles of poodles?😁

A black and white illustration in crosshatched pen and printing ink on a white paper of a room with a cosy fireplace, a Cat strolls over a rug in front of the fire, a Crow sits on the arm of a wingback chair. Christmas decorations above the fire. Atmospheric, festive and a bit spooky.

Because the nights are drawing in…an old illustration of mine.

A Cat & A Crow.

Good evening.

It’s happening. Mark your calendars summer 2026 #booksky 🐶🍝 @jenniekendrick.bsky.social never tell me the odds

Happy long weekend! Take 10 minutes and read for joy. It can be addictive and infectious. Good.

Wow!!!🌟

My dog says hello. He also wants to know what you're reading.

Meet my critique group, the Troika! Margaret Nevinski & Elsa Watson are brilliant writers. I'm the luckiest, having their eyes on my work.

We were able to see each other in person on Monday, & it was such a treat! I love these ladies.

Congrats!

I love this! Beautiful!

Honestly, even if you merely like (or generously tolerate!) an author, this is a lovely thing to do for books and bookstores and bookfriends and bookculture. ♥️ Requesting that your local library order it goes a long way too (especially with lesser-known authors most library don't have on auto-buy).

Matilda laid her first egg! It's the green one. Matilda is the yellow chick in the chicken baby photo. She's the 1st of our young hens to start laying.

I feel like I need to write an after-school special for the 3 hens who aren't laying yet called Beatrice Has an Egg.

THIS IS NOT MY LUNCHBOX!, written by Jennifer Dupuis and illustrated by Carol Schwartz, is a good one! THIS IS NOT MY BED! just came out last week. I don't have my copy of the second one yet, but it's on its way. They're in the same series.

Thank goodness for the scientists who worked so diligently to solve this! 🌊⭐❤️
