This book nerd in his natural habitat @wordvancouver.bsky.social #kidlit

I'm at Word Vancouver Exhibitor Fair today, meeting readers and supporting my fellow Children's authors. Come say hi! #kidlit @wordvancouver.bsky.social

Sun's out, tongue's out! Our little friend hasn't been feeling well, so it's great to see her out enjoying the walk again. Happy Tongue-out Tuesday, everybody! #tot #tongueouttuesday

Schnauzerfest is the charity I started because of Susie-Belle. Every year the charity helps a lot of dogs and people. October is the month we first started to do anything in 2014. I’d love you to take a look at the website and if you can support in any way, that too 🙂 www.schnauzerfest.org

We did it. We had a book launch! Lots of people came, incl. some lovely kids who have the 1st book & came for the 2nd ❤️📚 And we got mobbed by a gang of 4 schnauzers! I think it went well. #kidlit

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

i've said it before but i feel like my nebula win is a really great opportunity to push back against the "indie is garbage" narrative, but i always feel like i'm shouting into the void. i'm not sure how we, as a community, can use that to push back, but i really think we should.

Wow! This post really blew up! Thank you all for your kind words of support 😊 #gratitude #booksky #kidlit

Empathy share. Sorry to hear you didn't get any kids at your event. Hope your next one is better

My book launch is tomorrow! I'm happy, but so very nervous

Scraped from @tom-sam-emi.bsky.social's blog. I don't think he would mind since these are Theodore Roosevelt's words. Seems relevant again (still) today.

Deeply sad. @tom-sam-emi.bsky.social

you can also get my nebula award-winning spooky queer fantasy as part of this bundle to help with canadian wildfire relief. $10 gets you my book and 80+ other books and games. my fave thing about itch is the ability to tip (yes, that's a hint 💖) itch.io/b/3125/canad...

Highly recommend this blog. Come for the nature photos, stay for the heartfelt insights of an explorer of the human experience.

@albomp.bsky.social Update your ignorance

I like all-ages entertainment, the kind of movies you can take 3 generations to. In my writing I try to include something for everyone, which puts me in #kidlit category. #kidlitchat

I pray for the citizens of our world, esp the people (and animals) that will suffer and die as the result of these pointless, wasteful, *idiotic* wars.

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

This is the page in the history book where future generations may ask, “Why didn’t more people speak up?" Don’t let this slide.

I wish I would have known sooner. I'm so excited for multiplayet in NMS! Hope i can find a used switch2 soon. Let's go Electronique Boutique! 🤑🤞

We urge @bsky.app to review the spam label placed on @hansrajmeena.in. Hansraj Meena is a respected advocate for Indigenous rights and social justice. His content is educational and rooted in activism — not spam. Silencing such voices undermines democratic discourse.

If you're a fellow writer or other creative, and I'm not following you back, it's probably because you've posted AI images to your skyline

That feeling when you find your favorite author on Bluesky

Thanks all who have checked out STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS. If you liked it, or any book by any author, it’d be nice if you left a review somewhere. If you didn’t like it, that’s okay! Deposit your negative review into the open beak of a nearby crow. The crow will know what to do with it.

No cheating, post the last photo of your pets. (our Schnauzer out on sniffari yesterday)

In 2 weeks, Arcing will be available as an audiobook! If you got my January newsletter, you already got a cover and narrator reveal, but I'm going to do those for social media over the next two weeks! Watch this space!

Follow @janeetrasler.bsky.social for daily whimsical #kidlit art. This one is my fav because of the beetle (I'm guessing) walking a worm on a leash 😄

National Flag of Canada Day!❤️

Sensing we could use a timeline cleanse. Here's a dog playing poker.

Hurray! #MSWL is here at last!

Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away ... #SmallDogBigCity

Just saw @markhamillofficial.bsky.social in his guest appearance on What We Do in the Shadows (S2.E6). Hilarious! 🤣 #JimTheVampire #MechanicalTurk #AmEntertained

Merry Christmas, everyone! Montgomery Schnauzer is on Santa's case, waiting to ask very important questions ...

Happy Tongue Out Tuesday to those who celebrate 👅 #tot
