Anybody read this graphic novel by @tananarivedue.bsky.social and Steven Barnes, illustrated by @marcofinnegan.bsky.social? I'd kill to get any Due novel in theatres—or miniseries?! Looking at you, African Immortals Series—but I really need to see Aisha's story on film.

Finished THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER in the walmart parking lot of walmart while my wife grabs the kids some ketchup chips (they've been asking for days) and—beyond my love for the book—I'm always brought to tears by the acknowledgment sections @sgj.bsky.social writes.

The love in his heart, man...

I came here to countdown the days 'til PUSHING DAISY releases and drop blurbs, and I'm all outta blurbs.

Two days left, and the reviews don't stop coming!

At the library with the littlest one and found a book by one of my favourite teachers at @vanarts.bsky.social, @kenpriebe.bsky.social! I know I need more poetry in my life 😅
May 13, 2025 at 4:13 PM
3 days. A whisper of time. A chuckle in the throat of a hungry earth.

I don't know what I'm saying; better leave the poetry to my friend @aijiang.bsky.social!

If these words don't convince you to find out why readers detests Roger Darling, I don't know what else to try!

Happy Mother's Day! In 4 days, the world will learn why Roger Darling doesn't visit his mom...

In the meantime, here's the mother of all blurbs by my publishing brother, @brettkent.bsky.social, whose novel WHISPERS OF APPLE BLOSSOMS brought me to tears 😭

Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing partner a guy could ask for. Raising children with you has been a dream. Never have I smiled more, cried more, or laughed more than I have with you on this journey. You brighten every day ❤️

Benjamin, Braeden and I love you!

5 days...Daisy is peeking around her corner, eager to make your acquaintance...

In the meantime, peek at these wonderful words from the inimitable @christinogle.bsky.social!

Maaan, 6 days left. I'm freaking out. Readers are getting notified that their pre-orders have shipped, and the blurb train keeps climbing the hill.

@afsulli.bsky.social knows I love a good milk reference. You can take the man out of the warehouse, but you can't take the warehouse outta the man.

9 days to go! @jolietoomajan.bsky.social has been a guiding light in my authorly journey, so for her to offer such kind words for Pushing Daisy makes my heart do Grinch things (final act Grinch, not first act.)
