Been busy with lotsa stuff for meaningful posting but hey, GDT dissing eye-aye time and again is always a go.

Haven't you had your work treated as a mere pushbutton affair before? Because I had. 🥲

Art matters! Joy matters!

My hobby is mentally drafting conversations I'll never have with people I don't talk to.

Scorpio season!

Make someone who wronged you two decades ago into a nightmarish villain in a short story.

Start writing an entire novel simply to spite an old English teacher.

Kill some darlings that were just minding their own business.

Your time is now. ♏️

Book covers - WILDLIFE RESCUE HOW TO SAVE AN OTTER has cover art showing two kids walking through brush toward a baby river otter. WILDLIFE RESCUE HOW TO SAVE AN OTTER shows two kids walking toward a very fluffy baby owl in the grass.

My brand new chapter book series WILDLIFE RESCUE is out today, and I can't imagine a better way to celebrate this book birthday than spending it with these great South Carolina readers! (Amazing cover art is by Jen Bricking!)

Hi, friends...I need your sleuthing help! I have been trying to track down a creepy/surreal children's book that I loved as a kid, but can't recall the title. It would be PERFECT for this time of year. All my searching efforts have been futile, but maybe you can help. I'll describe it below!

💜 hahaha

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

“There,” said Toad. “Now I feel better. I am not in the dumps anymore.”

Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:

(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.

Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

Walter stole my mat. #goldendoodle

The Rider Naomi Shihab Nye, 1952 A boy told me if he roller-skated fast enough his loneliness couldn't catch up to him, the best reason I ever heard for trying to be a champion. What I wonder tonight pedaling hard down King William Street is if it translates to bicycles. A victory! To leave your loneliness panting behind you on some street corner while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas, pink petals that have never felt loneliness, no matter how slowly they fell.

Well, this is exciting! I'm headed to the wonderful bookshop Author's Note, owned by the NY Times best selling author @julieberrybooks.bsky.social. And not just one local paper wrote about it, two did! If you live near by, please come! 519 Main St., Medina, NY, Oct. 15, 6pm.
