A signing in Bethesda, Maryland with the wonderful @miriamchernick.bsky.social and here is a picture of cousins from long ago in the DC area, where I spent part of every summer growing up. My uncle, Michael, took these pictures and I couldn’t understand why he wanted to take one of me.

Because nothing makes sense anymore I played a short half court game of basketball with students and posed with Blaze the mascot on a Sunday afternoon.

Coming soon - it’s been a good long while since I published a middle grade novel, and I’m wracked with insomnia. It’s a love letter to my kids and to Los Angeles where we raised them.🌻🌻🌻
