I need a new server to post my author/travel newsletters. I want something that is easy to use, lets me post lots of photos, and isn't expensive. Suggestions with prices would be especially helpful. (I looked at Substack but can't find out how much they charge.) I need to do this ASAP. Help!

Maria Marshall interviewed Yael and me for her blog, Making Nature Fun. www.mariacmarshall.com/.../the-pict.... If you have read A Ring For a King and like it, please leave a review on Goodreads and Amazon!

Passing this on from Lori Stephens. A high school Senior is conducting a short survey on authors' opinions about AI theft. It's multiple choice, less than a minute to fill out, and some participation might be very helpful to her. You can respond here:" docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thanks, Nancy!

Happy Hanukkah!

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

7 days until Hanukkah!

This is the YouTube video of the interview. youtu.be/WRit0oo3xRo

Join me at 2 pm ET tomorrow at @ReadYourWorldMCDB or see the interview later at the Read Your World YouTube site.

Hear me talk about my books on #Instagram next week. Thanks, #ReadYourWorld !
