A reader called my novel “smart, absorbing, and dangerous bedtime reading.” Short chapters, sharp humor, and a dark mystery with heart. I’ll take that. 📚✨

It's Alzheimer's Awareness Month - what are you reading?

The moment I promised “regular newsletters,” the karmic gods started throwing wrenches at my head. 🤦‍♂️ Sickness, family chaos, Vegas, car trouble… so of course I wrote about it. Plus: a reminder about Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. 💜 Read it here: bpkelso.com/karmic-plot-...

Want to make The Odyssey actually FUN for kids? Use a 25-minute script + teacher-created song lyrics = Odyssey the Musical. Ideal for grades 3–8, mixed ages, and tight rehearsal schedules. 🎭 Script + lyric info here: playingwithplays.com/odysseythemu... #TheatreEd #ELA #GreekMyth

#GEICO radio commercial comes on and the lady is like, “I love that I can file my claims in under two minutes!” and my first thoughts are, “how many insurance claims are you actually filing? How are they still carrying you as a customer? You must be a REALLY bad driver”

It’s hard not to stay motivated when you get letters like this!

Just received from a teacher: “The first time I ever used Shakespeare (for Kids) in a class I taught, the kids had so much fun, when I was calling them into class from lunch one day, a group of 3 tween boys ran past yelling “yeah! Shakespeare!” I felt like I had just won at schooling.”

Swag is coming in! Gotta love it! #alzheimersSucks💜

Up to #10 in serial killers now! Woohoo! (Out of context this would sound SO wrong!) The Night She Said Hatchet

When you have the unglorious job of having to clear out your parent’s house. When you donate something to Goodwill does it ever feel like you’re letting go a part of your childhood? Sometimes, it’s just the small stuff. This morning it was the lid to a pot. Silly, right?

Here’s the cover and a cake of the cover! One was delicious! One launched yesterday! amzn.to/41grE1e

BookCAKE?! That’s what I got from my friends for my book launch! (Delicious I might add!) Thank you so much Cherice and Samantha for making this happen! What a surprise!!! (And yes, I did eat the hatchet!)

Awesome! Thank you.

My very first book unboxing for a novel! 4 years of work till this moment! Woohoo!!!
