Happy Book birthday to @marciamickelson.bsky.social

The Writing Room is a slice-of-life coming-of-age story that addresses larger themes of immigration, economic disparity, and emotional abuse.

Book news! Coming spring 2027, ANDY AND THE TRI-CORNERED BASEBALL GAME is my first historical fiction, inspired by a real game that brought the Dodgers, Yankees, and Giants together for one game in 1944 as part of a war bond drive.

Congratulations to Maritere R. Bellas on her book, Tío Ricky Doesn’t Speak English. Tío Ricky is in town & needs his nephew Enrique’s help! He doesn’t speak English, so his nephew has to translate for him at the store, the post office, & the bank. It’s a heartwarming story in English & Spanish.

Today is #ClementeDay. I wrote a children's book about #RobertoClemente. CALL ME ROBERTO! is not just about baseball feats or a tragic death. It's about a man whose defiance of bigotry has given me permission to be myself in a world that would rather I be someone else. And I'm so grateful.
