The cat's finally out of the bag! My big project is The Catterfly Rider, a brand new fantasy YA series created by Kasia Babis and yours truly. A true dream project years in the making and a labor of love for both of us.
Book 1 comes out in Spring 2027, but I promise it's worth the wait. ❤️🐾

"The brilliance of the people in Chicago and the people in Minneapolis: they run towards the whistles, which is a scary thing to do. After two people have been shot, they run towards them and they start recording, and they've made it impossible for the administration to lie about what's happening."

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota."
Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."
