Huge thank you to #WashingtonCounty, PA for using my book #LilyandthePaperMan during your Hunger and Homelessness week to raise awareness about the increase in food and housing insecurity. @secondstory.bsky.social Video on Instagram (where I'm not) and Facebook for more info. #kidlit #cankidlit

cannot hide its glow this month:
the blaze of moonlight

This sounds like a terrible idea. I hope they are fully transparent. Patrick Fortin, infected with hepatitis and HIV at 7 with contaminated blood products in Canada, died at 23.

October sweeps out
while wind, rain, cold, dark seep in
--haunted thoughts prevail

rain silvers the lake
drives cold through mittens and shoes--
sudden arc blazes

scent of summer's end
after the celebration
those here and not here

response by my husband:

Flowers cut for all
Here not here who celebrate
Their scent is always free

Brian and Ezra, in alternating chapters, navigate new challenges at 13. Family, friendship, seventh grade, basketball, school culture, grief, mental health, resilience and courage are all explored. The balance of instability and finding allies is beautifully handled for middle-grade readers. 📚👍🏻

To alleviate angst I #knit - this one is for my month old great nephew to grow into. Pattern: #GrowingGardenCardigan. Yarn: #CottonChirp, both from #PurlSoho. Somehow the act of knitting turns down the volume in my head enough to re-set. Plus making something for someone...🧶
