I am at the Gaithersburg MD Book Festival tomorrow (free! Come!) and was just stopped in the elevator by a total stranger. “I know you. You have a reputation. You were the only person at the Decatur Book Festival who could get an Oreo from their forehead to their mouth with no hands.”

Today is a good day! @katebeaton.bsky.social has a new book out and I think you will love it. It has biting, and mermaids, and boats, all of which are very much my jam. She’s one of my very favorite authors and humans and perhaps it will be your jam too. 🦈
