I will be "In Conversation" with @lindsayncurrie.bsky.social at the Sandlake Barnes and Noble on Monday, Sept. 22. If you live in Central Florida, join us! Remember to scan to register.

The back cover of 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 translated into GenZ slang. 🤣🤣🤣 Bulletin Board idea: doing something like this might grab the interest of some reluctant readers. Try it!

Finished "The Free State of Jax" by Jennifer A. Nielsen (received an ARC at #aala25). Wonderfully written themes of forgiveness, standing up for yourself, and one of my favorites....the destructive nature of holding a grudge. I recommend this one! It releases 10/21/25.

Can't wait for #ALAAC25 in Philadelphia! Besides signing books @sbkslibrary.bsky.social booth #1522, I'll be doing a #mystery panel w/ @lindsayncurrie.bsky.social & @victorpineiro.bsky.social! Please come by, say hi, & get an ARC of SECRETS OF THE BROKEN HOUSE--a middle grade murder mystery!

Let's celebrate the kickoff of summer w/ a #Giveaway! To enter: Follow & share. Extra entry for subscribing to my newsletter, The Briefing Room (see website). @sourcebooks.bsky.social #BTPTravelingARC #BookPosse #BookAllies #BookJaunt #booknerd #mystery #middlegrade #Reading Winner on 6/30.

@kingoflibrary.bsky.social I put this on "the other one" but then saw you were off it, so sorry if it's a repeat: This would be a FUN library game to play at MASL (but use books instead of fruit). Get authors/vendors to donate prizes (I know us authors would help)! www.youtube.com/shorts/ygf6K...
