Being part of the @writersloftma.bsky.social Book Bazaar meant getting to hang out with some wonderful people and one very cool bear. 📚📖📚

Great gift for the child who's a little scared of nighttime or the grandparent who hosts sleepovers. Or for the tired parent who just wants their kid to go to bed! Paperback available December 17th; hardcover available anytime. Order from your favorite Indie bookstore or wherever you buy books!

The talent! Loved seeing Ekua Holmes' exhibit at the St. Botolph Club in Boston. You have until January 10th (Wednesdays 2 - 4) to get yourself there. Your eyes and your soul will appreciate it.
