Thanks for all the KS campaign reposts. The signal boost helps very much, especially as we are so close to funding.
The “Tea or Coffee, Stars, and Gravity” anthology KS campaign is 95% base goal funded (www.kickstarter.com/projects/526...). This means we are 81% to SG1 & 71% to SG2. 10 more backers to base goal funding. A little more caffeine in our mugs today and we’ll be there. #sff #fantasy #book #ks #booksky

DAY 5 NF Fest: Writing Nonfiction with @henryherz.bsky.social
I love nonfiction #Kidlit that takes new creative approaches like Henry Herz's I AM SMOKE. It's a risk, and there's no guarantee that editors will like it, but when they do, magic like this can happen!

I'm not saying that @ericjguignard.bsky.social used me as a cover model for #Horror Library vol. 9. But I'm not not saying it, either. Thrilled to be in a ToC filled with luminaries like Poppy Z. Brite, Delilah Dawson, KC Grifant, Mercedes Yardley & many others.

keep hauling him in, hold him in contempt, make his life miserable until he tells his goons to cut it out

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Kirkus gives a nice review of my upcoming book, I AM LIGHT (Tilbury House)!
López once more finds an inspired way to depict the physical phenomena that the author personifies in his two-tiered explanatory narratives. This eloquent, elegant testimonial offers much to engage heads as well as hearts.

Here's a spread from my upcoming picture book, I AM LIGHT (Tilbury House, Mar 17), featuring the stunning art of Merce Lopez. This is third in the series of anthropomorphic autobiographies that began with the award-winning I AM SMOKE and I AM GRAVITY.
