Life is full of surprises, and recently I had a very happy one. Lerner sent copies of the Swedish translation of Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton Ett liv (A Life) was published by Vilja forlag this Spring. So glad Swedish children will have the chance to read her story too! #kidlit #Svenska #DollyParton

Yes is a magical word. In saying "yes" to an offer to write how-to books, I ventured into expository NF recently. Had a great experience while confirming that my love for narrative is very, very strong. Yet, still willing to try new things. That's how you grow! #kidlit

This doesn't have anything to do with the economy. It's Trump's Vengeance Tour, pure and simple.

I've been sniffling today for the first time in months. You know what this means?! -- Spring. Is. Coming. It was my seasonal allergies causing me to sniffle. So, if you've experienced an unusually long, cold, snowy winter as we have in MD, then fear not! My nose knows. #spring

It's heartening to catch snippets of #kidlit authors' work continuing here on Blue Sky. Thanks for the lift! I probably won't be able to get this account going in earnest until I get a writing break in a month or so, but I'm here!

Apparently, Dolly is on BlueSky, but hasn't yet shared the news about her upcoming autobiographical musical here. She's always so busy! So I'm gonna help her out. I'm like that. But, seriously, I'm excited to see this. @realdollyparton.bsky.social #DollyParton

New Year's resolution # ?? -- make real effort to get my Blue Sky account going! Happy to report that I've been busy writing and working on new projects. Two #nonfiction books came out last month. Will try to return here sooner than later. #kidlit

Really wanting to give Blue Sky a go, since I've been mostly disengaged from Twitter/X for quite some time now. Looking forward to making new connections, especially with my fellow #kidlit authors, and renewing old ones. #hello
