My trip to Missouri to accept the 2024 Mark Twain Readers Award for Six Feet Below Zero was one of the coolest experiences of my life. @maslonline is an amazing organization that does its state proud. School librarians rock! Enormous thanks to everyone at @maslonline and the students of Missouri!

After @wildinkpublishing.bsky.social acquired the rights to republish BUTTERFLY GIRL, we had to unravel a red tape delay on Amazon.

I’m happy to share that pre-orders are now open! πŸ¦‹

Keep checking your immunity for CP, Melissa. It took me 4 inoculations to reach immunity levels… and the doctors couldn’t believe it.

In an effort to upgrade my presentations from Power Point, I tried learning Prezi. 🀣 What a disaster THAT was! Now I'm on to Canva, which is going much better, but still, it's step by step and slow progress. I need an EASY button!

B/w illustration of a person in silhouette being pushed out a window. Text reads: THE HORN BOOK calls THE TONTINE CAPER a feisty puzzle mystery with a hearty dollop of humor. The inept murder-minded antics ... are just one example of the hilarious hijinks sprinkled throughout this farce, which registers surprise after surprise until, in a final sleight of hand, Salerni delivers a heartwarming ending that few will see coming.
