Just received copies of the Russian edition of The Verdigris Pawn - known there as Knight, Magician, Pawn. It’s very very cool to see my Russian name in Cyrillic, and my words in one of the languages my grandparents spoke

*this is a 🫧$ pub & was sold before the invasion

Thinking about planting a garden this spring? Or maybe you want to dive deeper into the world of a plant based diet?
Or maybe, like me, you never really knew what “8on your plate means”

If so then check out VEGGIES SMARTS Dr turned Hudson Valley farmer/CSA

I picked both of these up at NCTE and have been staring at them as they’ve been piled together - then only today realized they are the same cover! Same ombré, same reds, and same foil lettering
Is this common practice to use the same template for cover art??

Just saying, if you’re loving Impossible Creatures, I’d suggest also reading:
Once There Was by Kiyash Monsef
&
Between Monsters and Marvels by your truly

A little weekend read which might be, and most likely is 200% either research for a new book or maybe prep for whatever might happen to our economy

Back from #NCTE feeling grateful for authors and educators and the work we all do together to reach students
Also feeling especially grateful for my @mgauthorcade.bsky.social family and all that we’re building together

This morning at #NCTE2024
We’re asking how can we create energized readers and why does that even matter?

We’ve got some ideas on both points that we’re excited to share and are eager to be in conversation with you!
