Dragon Masters fan Mia came to visit me at the Dragon Wagon yesterday and gave me this Worm and Drake she made from pipe cleaners. Isn’t it cool? Thanks, Mia!

Trans kids: you are seen. You are loved. No court ruling can change your worth.

I am so excited to announce my new series coming out this fall in collaboration with illustrator Carolina Vasquez! Dragon Hill is part of the Scholastic Acorn line of books for emergent readers ages 4-7. This series is set in the Dragon Masters world but the main characters are young dragons.

My heart is with the trans community as this case begins. I’ll be getting all my news from the amazing Erin Reed.
Reporting from the Supreme Court on transgender rights in the Skrimetti case and I feel the weight of the moment.

I will report from the court throughout the day when I am allowed my phone.

Thank you all for putting me in a place where I can do this work for you.

When I'm not writing, my husband and I operate a mobile indie bookstore in rural NY and we each kid who visits us gets one book for free. My niece created the art for our book bus and this is a limited-time fundraiser to help us stock our shelves for next year. dckr.shop/the_dragon_wagon/shop/home
