Someone might need to hear this today! #inspiration #encouragement

Spooky date night. Delicious, themed cocktails went along with performances of Edgar Allan Poe's eeriest works! Tell-tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Raven, and The Masque of the Red Death. #edgarallanpoe #datenight #literaturePosts

AHH! Couldn’t believe my luck to have a moment with AMAZING author Ali Hazelwood at Tucson Festival of Books! Her book, “Check & Mate” is similar to my Ya-in-progress “Canon of Katrina Quinn” – a piano performance romcom. #tucsonfestivalofbooks #yafiction #yabooks #yaauthorsofinstagram

SO EXCITED to have a custom-designed ZINE for my YA book "The Canon of Katrina Quinn" (querying). Heading to TFOB this weekend & will be handing out these ZINES for FWEE! #yafiction #yaauthors #yabooks #yaauthorsofinstagram #yaauthor #newauthor

@kchowrites.bsky.social My new writing friend and author Karen S. Chow published a MG performance/drama that has SO MUCH in common with my YA work in progress “The Canon of Katrina Quinn”. Can’t wait to read! #WritingCommunity #Writerslift #BookRecommendation #bookstoread

FOMO! I saw some northern lights!

Second breakfast time...It's a Hobbit kind of day.

I'm beyond surprised and honored that "The Canon of Katrina Quinn" received the 2024 Golden Pen Award at the @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social Letters & Lines writing conference this weekend! #scbwi #Yafiction #yabook #ireadya #youngadultbooks #yareads #newauthor #yaauthor #RomCom

@authorsarafujimura.bsky.social So glad to find you here on Blue! It's kind of obscure, but a super supportive community!

Sonnenblick is a master for a reason. Many, actually. Among the top is VOICE—oh the perfect middle schooler, right here! (more...) #BookRecommendation #bookstoread #yabook #ireadya #youngadultbooks #yareads #yaauthor

This was a brilliant retelling of a classic, which I’m partial to (especially since my novel-in-progress is also a retelling). more... #BookRecommendation #bookstoread #Authorssupportingauthors #Yafiction #yabook #ireadya #youngadultbooks #yareads #newauthor #yaauthor
