On every street... A Falloween poem #falloween #kidlit #autumnpoem #poemsforkids #kidspoems #fallpoems #childrenspoetry #childrenspoems #falloweeny

Drawing of a vibrant tree in autumn, every leaf a different shade of fall orange, red or yellow combined with the design of a pair of orange high-top sneakers with their laces undone, both graphics in support of a poem by Rusty Fischer that reads:

Autumn leaves
Beneath our feet,
A symphony
On every street…

Fabulously fun, festive picture book post today in the form of The Humble Pie and Have Yourself a Cheesy Little Christmas by Jory John & Pete Oswald. Huge thanks to @antswilkinson.bsky.social @harper360uk.bsky.social 🎄

#KidlitUK #UKKidlit

The 2 books and matching sheets of stickers. The Humble Pie’s cover shows a smiling pie with arms and legs standing by an open window, surrounded by red apples. The other book’s cover shows a grinning cylindrical yellow cheese standing on a pile of Christmas presents outside in the snow.

Drawing of a vibrant orange fall leaf resting on a wicker “Welcome” mat paired with the design of glowing jack o’ lantern, both graphics in support of a poem by Rusty Fischer that reads:

Crisp fall leaves
Now dot the mat,
Where once a glowing
Pumpkin sat…

Star Wars Insider gave me a dream-come-true chance to write for Lucasfilm. Being its books columnist let me interview authors about their craft, which was an amazing apprenticeship. I even wrote fiction about Hondo Ohnaka, Rex and TIE pilots. Forever grateful to have been a part of its fabulous run!

Spent release day wandering through NYC to see if I could see SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE at some of my favorite bookstores. Thank you to Greenlight Bookstore, Barnes & Noble Union Square and my very own neighborhood’s Taylor & Co. for stocking my brand new YA sci-fi horror novel. Means the world to me.
