One of my cherry tomato plants had a couple turning orange and then a squirrel came, stole ALL those tomatoes, then broke the stem in half so no more could grow. WHY NOT SALT THE EARTH WHILE YOU ARE AT IT, BUDDY? πππ

Congratulations to ABLA client Brodi Ashton on the release of the MY LADY JANE tv show on Prime Video! If you've finished watching the show (and have already read the book), did you know there is more about the world of Ethians in MY CONTRARY MARY? And some familiar characters may pop up too...

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

The Horn Book was so entrenched in my childhood reading growing up, so to have them give such an amazing view about a book I wrote is fairly mind-blowing.
Thank you, Horn Book!

(For librarians there is a whole other aspect, too, which is tons of panels and educational type events all day β agents/authors donβt really get into the mix on most of that stuff). Then of course there are breakfasts and parties and banquets and things before and after. So yes FUN! But exhausting
