In good news (which I know I need these days), my book Drew Leclair Gets a Clue (which has been challenged in four states, and had been pulled from shelves in one county in Florida) seems to have been restored to shelves! Not sure if it's been relocated to YA but I'll take the win 🎉

So thrilled to see that Drew Leclair Gets a Clue was chosen by a Michigan middle schooler as Canton Public Library's best books!

It makes me so happy to see that kids are still discovering this book after three years 🥹

I've asked my reps that and fought them on it. Repeatedly. But hey. Looks like this is a big joke to you, so good luck gaining traction on getting people away from Dems and towards a better party by acting like this while people suffer. I'm sure that will work.

Where are my mystery writing/reading friends? If you write or read in the vein of @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social @ellecosimano.bsky.social @mpmthewriter.bsky.social @theallycarter.bsky.social Jesse Q Sutanto & Elise Bryant, what feeds are you following? I need more of these books in my life

19. I love cemeteries and ghost stories. I love the idea of soft haunting people after I die and always having the same outfit on (preferably pajamalas) like a cartoon character. And I think cemeteries are as beautiful as they are sad. They tell a story.

18. I love stuffed animals. I'm allergic to pets, so it feels like a consolation prize since I can't have a fur baby. Did I make a Plague Doctor soap opera with my 9yo and put it on Youtube? Did I set it to Lionel Richie's "hello?"

Yes, yes I did.

I love my hair. It's wild, and has a mind of its own. I always wanted big bedroom hair, like Brigitte Bardot. I got it.

12. I love Nina Simone. The very nature of her voice speaks to my soul. If I could only listen to one artist for the rest of my life, it would be Nina.

11. I love Fitzwilly. Even though I'm usually a "solve crime" more than a "do crime" person, I love the idea of a butler stealing from the rich so that his employer can give more to charity. HEISTS!

9. I love Nancy Drew. I started reading it in 3rd grade and never stopped- I STILL buy them today and read every one. If you Google my name + Nancy Drew let's just say there's a lot of proof of the sentiment

I have come here to evict uteruses and write books. And, as of yesterday, I'm all out of uteruses

Today is my birthday (46) and I'm enjoying the morning darkness, as is my custom. We Winter Solstice babies love the dark.

I love Fitzwilly *despite* it having a character who queries a "spelling dictionary," and then somehow sells it to a publisher and film producer as a BIOGRAPHY for a quarter million dollars (in 1967, so 2.5 million today). I'm an author, so that should tell you something.
