Me about to get on an airplane: I’m going to get so much writing/editing done in the next 5 hours. Me on airplane: *snores* #writing #writingcommumity #thrillerbooks #thriller #authorsofbluesky

I’m just an author, standing in front of the internet reminding everyone that:

1. Authors are small businesses

2. Books make amazing holiday gifts that keep giving

3. You can support authors, illustrators, *and* indie bookstores by shopping small this season!

Win, win, WIN!

Billionaires and celebrity authors don’t make a living by writing quality children’s literature for kids,

but I do,

and so do wonderfully talented people who’ve spent thousands of hours to study & write books — no small task — with the highest respect for kids and the craft.

I’m thankful for all of it. Every breath. Every person in my life. Every story. Every book. Every lesson. Every opportunity. Every failure. Every tomorrow where I get to wake up and try it all over again. Happy thanksgiving to all who celebrate! #thanksgiving #thankful #books #writer

Does anyone else hum Mr. Bluesky every time they open this app?
