HWA members: would love it if you'd take a look at PRESS 1 FOR INVASION and, if you like it, recommend it for the HWA Stoker reading list for middle-grade fiction!

Meridien Magazine agrees, calling it a "perfect read for the season" and "among the best releases of the season"!

This is exciting news! It appears that local politicians are getting behind the movement to name a street after Jack Kirby, so it might actually happen!

This was a lot of fun to do - check it out!

thank you!!!

I think overall this is an excellent assessment of the (tragic) situation, although I'm slightly more optimistic about the possibilities that could come out of this in terms of adjunct to tenure ratios than the OP may be. Not much more, though, alas.

Emily, this just came out, so it's 2025, but can't remember if it got on your radar - very proud of it and hope that it gets on the HWA reading list for middle-grade!

I am delighted to be edited by my former student, now friend, Tiffany! She’s in the process of improving my piece profoundly….!

The Diplomat is very much my thing. You watch an episode and you really want to know what is going to happen in the next one; therefore, you keep watching. This is an interesting approach and I believe more television shows should try it.

although I think you may need to follow me so I can message you? sorry if I'm wrong about that - just let me know...

That’s amazing- will do!!

If you get to alien invasions and consider stuff for kids, may I humbly recommend this?

Happy to have Simon and Schuster send you a copy...

Reading through and enjoying MANIFEST DESTINY, which I hadn’t caught when it came out….and am just*blown away* by Matthew Roberts’ art.

Preeti is an exemplar of this

Interested in celebrating spooky season with your middle grader (or anyone who likes MG fiction)? May I suggest my scary but not too scary PRESS 1 FOR INVASION? Kirkus liked it; I hope you will too! Check out reviews, an excerpt, and pick up a copy here!

Shout out to @jeremydauber.bsky.social's actual history of horror, American Scary. And a book I own but can't bring myself to read, Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen. Also avoiding all books on the climate crisis, because I'll just need more actual horror fiction to soak up the cortisol.

Not my favorite, but the most surprising one that I like: Motley Crue's cover of Jailhouse Rock (second place in the hair metal cover sweepstakes goes to Poison's Your Momma Don't Dance)

People who read my books are happier, better looking, and more interesting.

mazel tov!!!

I like this a lot

I think it's fascinating to watch it from a) an older person's perspective (I'm now closer to the parents' age than the young adults) and of course b) from a 2025 perspective...

I think that House is one of the most unforgettable movies I have ever seen. It absolutely stays with you. I'm fairly sure I didn't fully understand it, but I recommend it unreservedly to anyone who cares about horror.

I think this is a great point, especially when it comes to the film's social incisiveness.

So, so grateful for our public libraries: it's amazing to see how many copies of PRESS 1 FOR INVASION are coming into - and being checked out of! - them. If you want a copy for yourself, get it here; but asking your local library to buy a copy is huge, too!
