WE ADOPTED
Latest twist of our #adoption roller coaster: it all worked out 😭 Two days ago we received a message that she wanted us to adopt the baby—for real this time. We rushed out last night and officially became parents to the little boy we thought we lost just a week ago 💜

#adoption
“1 in 4 adoptions fall through. We were that 1.”
We believed we were parents to a beautiful baby for 48 hours—but his real mother chose to keep him. If a mother can keep a baby she doesn’t want to part with that’s always best. We will never regret the time we spent with him or getting to kiss his sweet head.

Cover of LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK OF PRIDE, two parents kissing their child on the cheek while she holds a rainbow flag
MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE comes out today and I'm feeling extremely Ralph Wiggum "I'm in danger" about it. It's beautiful though and I love it no matter what they say

"Fabulously well crafted and full of all the charm in the world. These characters grabbed my heart and didn't let go. Schwartz is one to watch. - Charlotte Stein, author of When Grumpy Met Sunshine TIME TO GET INTO TROUBLE ALL MONTH IN MARCH $1.90 MY KIND OF TROUBLE A slick conwoman selling a fake music festival meets her match in a hot and nerdy autistic small- town librarian fighting book bans, in this gender- swapped homage to The Music Man perfect for fans of Spoiler Alert and Act Your Age, Eve Brown. My Kind of Trouble book cover: teal background with a bold white san serif font reading MY KIND OF across the top and between two figures, TROUBLE written in large script over the two figures, and a small script font reading “a novel” tucked into a bookshelf near the bottom. The two figures are a tall dark-haired man in glasses, brown tweed jacket, jeans, and sneakers, carrying an overly tall stack of books and smiling at a glamorous fat blonde woman in a low-cut red dress, choker, and red lipstick sitting on a low bookcase, holding a book in her lap, and smiling back slyly. The books are in pinks and purples. The author L. A. Schwartz is written at the bottom.
My adult romcom debut about an autistic librarian fighting book bans and falling for a cute conwoman is on super sale all month (there's a marching band joke in there somewhere for this gender-swapped Music Man homage)

Happy Aromantic Awareness week from Em, one of the characters in my debut YA graphic novel, SOMEWHERE IN THE GRAY! Em is aromantic, asexual, agender (a "triple-A battery" as they put it 😂 )
Can't wait for the world to meet my aspec babies🥹 SOMEWHERE IN THE GRAY is out 2027, add it on Goodreads now!
The Daily Mail debating if women feeding their babies or wearing low cut tops are ‘asking for it’ isn’t offering social commentary, just sleaze. The editor who commissioned it needs to have a word with themselves. The problem here isn’t breasts, but weirdos writing about how much they stare at them.

Text: MY BODY IS… Images: children jumping in the air, musical instruments, a door with a heart on it, chubby child sleeping, child eating watermelon, curving road
Can’t leave out MY BODY IS A…
A non-fiction #PB about awareness. From a house to a tree, bodies are many things. They deserve love and respect, no matter their size, color, ability.
In a verse style like my published books, MY BODY IS A… will fit perfectly on every kid’s bookshelf.

I hate to break it to you but Neil Gaiman is not ‘the end of the male feminist’ he’s just the latest in a long line of shitty men using ‘feminism’ as cover for their monstrosity and they’re going to keep right on doing it because they face no meaningful consequences!!
