Ping thought she belonged among the dwarves of Nadavir. But her life takes a surprising turn when she discovers she's the long-lost princess of Pixiandria. #kidlit #mglit #childrensbooks #middlegrade #pixiefairies #fairies #booksky

What has been your favorite reading journey? I'd say mine was any book where a girl took charge of her fate! Catherine, Called Birdy by Karen Cushman (unfortunately, no relation) would be a great example! #booksky #kidlit #reading #childrensbooks

Cereal, my breakfast go-to food. How about you?

We're all so scattered onto different platforms now. It's like the Great Migration happened. It's hard to keep up. Then there are the algorithms that strive to keep us apart. We need a central watering hole for gathering and gossiping. When I can get to it, Tuesdays here at #kidlitchat is great!☺️

I miss the blue boards as well. I made so many kidlit friends on there. We even met up for dinner at a Seattle SCBWI conference.

Still searching for a willing dragon partner. Apparently they’re all booked for star dancing and moon skimming this season. If you spot one accepting riders, send them my way. #fantasy #dragon #kidlit

Me, too! Critiques spur me on with a feeling of empowerment to make my story better.

Have a lovely Valentine’s Day!

I'm not much of a fashion icon myself, so I don't talk about fashion much. However, I find these goblin trends quite enticing. Maybe there's a book in this? The Goblins Wear Prada?
