My forthcoming book has a cover! So I made another overdramatic book trailer!

Thank you to Felipe De Castro for the dreamy illustration. (IG:@felipe.d.reyes).

THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF THE ORDINARY BARNEY FLARFF ⭐
My power was out so I was forced, forced I say, to spend the evening reading a book by cozy candlelight. 🕯️

I got halfway through my first day of the @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social annual writing conference when my sweet piggie princess decided she needed to see the doctor. I’m so sad to miss out on spending time with my fellow writers, learning from the best, but my old fur baby needs some snuggles instead.

My neighbor created a Little Free Stick Library in honor of their doggie who passed and it’s the most wholesome thing in all the land! 😭🐶

I took a photo of a castle and I think it’s the most castley photo of a castle ever.

A few doors in the Cotswolds that I wish I could knock on and peer inside these magical places. ⭐️

First day in the Cotswolds coming in hot! Went straight to The Bell Inn, an early 19th century pub frequented by J.R.R. Tolkien that served as the real-world inspiration for the Prancing Pony, the pub in Bree where Frodo meets Aragorn. Thank you for coming to my Nerd talk. ⚔️

If you’re at the Colorado Association of Libraries conference, stop by and learn about my Cryptozoology for Kids presentation. 🦄 I’m handing out ‘Bigfoot believes in you’ stickers! 🐾

I rarely go backpacking, but when I do, I look like I rarely go backpacking. 🏕️

If Jessica Fletcher broke bad and began wreaking more havoc on the town than the criminal she's chasing.

A speculative mystery - THE PLACE THAT SCARES THE MOST - and no, that's not the local hair salon.

My morning hike looked like I was questing through the shire! Zero orcs were encountered on this adventure. ⭐️

My favorite question from a 5th grader: Do you write books because you like it, or is someone making you?
