In Manhattan, #kidlit and @booksofwonder.bsky.social are practically synonyms. I can’t begin to express how excited I was to find GRADY JONES AND THE GREAT DETECTIVE GAME on the shelf here, and how honored I was to sign copies for them.

It's release day! GRADY JONES AND THE GREAT DETECTIVE GAME is finally in stores! With my wife on camera and a slightly confused dog, we went and found a couple copies at Book Culture on Broadway, 114th Street in Manhattan.

Nice five-star review calls Grady Jones “an outstanding first novel that readers of all ages will love”.

Thanks Sara W (not a shill)! #KidLit

So what did I wish for? Hint: it's not what you think.

In honor of NYC's first day of school I've composed an Ode to School Librarians. Heartfelt tribute and a way of introducing my upcoming middle-grade debut novel. Enjoy (and if you're a librarian, thank you!)

Every night I read to Albert from his favorite book, GRADY JONES AND THE GREAT DETECTIVE GAME, which releases September 30th from Aladdin Books. #KidLit #dogsofbluesky

I have no idea how you get NetGalley reviews, but I did get this one, and it’s pretty good. And it’s not, like, my mom or anything. Just some stranger.

Book comes out six weeks from today! Very exciting! #KidLit

I propose a vetting process. Make cabinet nominees sit before some sort of deliberative body — at least 100 guys, from all 50 states — and answer questions.

That would guarantee that cabinet nominees have the basic qualifications for their job. (Obv. assuming the system didn’t get corrupted, LOL.)
*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
