Two of my favorite author friends - @tanyakonerman.bsky.social and @kimlongmg.bsky.social -from different circles randomly got seated next to each other at Books By the Banks! What are the odds? 😍 Go say hi and buy their books if you're in Cincinnati! #kidlit

So pretty! 😍 They really are like gemstones. We had to dig all of ours up before the first frost, and now some of them are sprouty.

Happy #HaikuSaturday!

Wild and free-ranging,
riderless Saddleback holds
its own destiny.

I first learned about stickleback research while homeschooling the kids. We got excellent educational DVDs from @hhmi.org and one of them what about these remarkable fish. #evolution

Tis the season of making sourdough crackers again (I try not to turn on the oven in hot months). Yes, it’s delicious!

This might be the first time someone gets a hand-knitted thank-you gift for pushing me off the ledge.

Yeah, definitely the first time. 😆

This is the only way I want to see the world on fire. The Aurora Borealis was putting on quite a show last night even at 39degrees latitude. 😍 #NorthernLights

In troubled times, we need art to bring us joy. Here’s mine that brings me great joy, from design to tablecloth! I got the snowman one for December ☃️😍 Loving the leaf one right now (I don’t iron anything I don’t absolutely have to).

#SurfacePatternDesign
Two table cloths from spoonflower with my designs draped on my couch. One of them has a snowman motif, and the other has falling leaves and sparkles motif. The following leaves with sparkles design tablecloth on our dining room table.

It feels weird to not post political outrage, but it is National STEAM/STEM Day, and it must be celebrated! #science #kidlit

#kidlitartpostcard day again!
This is from a NF MG manuscript that I plan to convert to a #GraphicNovel after it was orphaned when my editor left for another publisher. #kidlit
A drawing of a girl and her dog looking at a plant. The girl asks, “What’s it saying?” The dog thinks, “Feed me?” While the plant is actually saying, “Back off, buddy.”

If you’re interested in writing picture books, be sure to read this book first. If you’re not sure what age you want to write for, I recommend checking out the www.kidlit411.com site for a ton of free info on how to get started in whatever area you want. 1/2

Because I've sent emails of protest to Sen. Todd Young, I'm automatically put on his email list. I've marked them as spam. This recent bald-faced lying is a fine example of why I have banished his missives to hell and generally don't look at them.
An email from Senator Todd Young claiming that senate republicans continue to vote to fund the government and senate Democrats continue to object.

Halloween is right around the corner…and so are the 6 and 8-legged (or more) creepy crawlies!

The fabulous @rogermcm.bsky.social and I chatted about our books that are perfect for the occasion. Take a peek…if you dare!

(Actually entertaining unlike the horrors of the regime.)

An email from Brady: United Against Gun Violence. Over the weekend, a slew of shootings occurred in cities across the United States. But in a country where gun violence has become so normalized, these shootings barely broke headlines. At least four people were killed and eight others injured in the shooting at a church in Grand Blanc Township, MI. In Southport, NC, a gunman, armed with the semi automatic, short barrel rifle killed three people and injured eight more. Four people were shot in Raleigh, NC. For others were shot in Alexandria, LA. Two people were shot and killed at a casino in Eagle Pass, TX. In any other country, one mass shooting would be caused enough for leaders to take action and stop the violence once and for all. We’ve seen it happened in Austria, Norway, and Australia. Yet, in our country, numerous mass shootings in only one weekend find lawmakers silent, idle, and continuing to let our citizens be gunned down. There is a link at the end of the letter sign a petition and donate to the organization.
