Who do I need to talk to about getting to meet a highland cow? It is what my life is missing right now.

I was in the Rockville, MD area today and decided to drop in on the two nearby B&N locations. Thanks @barnesandnoble.com Rockville and Gaithersburg for showcasing Spellbinders in the last few days of summer. 🥰🎉📚

🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows! It’s time for our recommendation post for next month’s theme! Here are twenty books that we think also fit the September theme of Where the Magic Happens! 🧵

Still more visits in the works, but this is my current list of conferences and festivals for 2025. Come find me if you're at any of these amazing events. 🎉😊 #bookevents #bookfairs #bookfestivals #authorevents #booksbythebanks #buckeyebookfair #baltimorebookfestival #vlaconference #virginialibraries

Reviews by young readers are really the only ones that matter, IMHO. 😉 🥰 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/SNH/s... @randomhousekids.bsky.social #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #mgbooks #summerreads #fantasyseries #kidlit

IS THERE ZOROASTRIAN-SKY OR DO I HAVE ANY IRANIAN/PERSIAN ZOROASTRIAN MUTUALS OR NON-MUTUALS WITH WHOM I CAN HAVE A CONVO ABOUT MYTHOLOGY AND APPROPRIATION I WILL PAY YOU FOR YOUR TIME (Iranian preferred bc of specificity but would happily talk to any Parsis/Parsees!) (please share thank yoooou!)

I’ll be on Ocracoke Island all next week, and part of my visit will be frequenting @bookstobered.bsky.social, one of my favorite bookstores in the country. ❤️ If you’re in #OBX and taking a ferry to #ocracoke, be sure to stop by. They’ll be signed copies of the Spellbinders books. 📚

With summer ending and school starting, now is the perfect time to request Spellbinders from your local #library. It helps an #author and gives #MGreaders a chance to belly laugh at overconfident goblins. 😂 (ISBNs below.) Thanks! Book 1: 9780593482742 Book 2: 9780593482780 Book 3: 9780593813393

Quick August #QueryUpdate: still chipping away at the submission pile. I’m always endeavoring to be faster and more efficient, but I’m also only one person. I do respond to every submission so, if you haven’t heard back yet, it’s still in the queue. #literaryagent #publishing

Grab your gear and hit the road! I'm attending my first Virginia Library Association conference on October 2, 2025. Come by and visit with me and the rest of the @scbwi.bsky.social peeps. More to come! #vla #vlacon #virginialibraries #libraries #librarians #library

All three books in the Spellbinders series are available for the hungry MG reader. Ideal for beaches, campsites, car trips, and wherever else you're headed this summer! Thanks for the shoutout, RMG! 😄 📖 readingmiddlegrade.com/fantasy-book...

Very excited to work with Michelle! Her fantasy reinterpretation of Jane Austen’s Emma puts overlooked Jane Fairfax in the spotlight as she deals with an unexpected pregnancy, a flakey secret fiancé, and a society that limits her ability to profit from her magic. This book is swoony + magical!

It's going to be a busy fall. I'm lining up a series of appearances at fests all over the place, starting with the Baltimore Book Festival on September 13th. If you're in the MD/DC/VA area, come by and see us. #bookfestivals #bookfest #baltimore #baltimorereads #bookevents baltimorebookfest.com

I spy @jaqevans.com’s Dear New Tenant!

Some very exciting news! deadline.com/2025/07/sony...

Hey you can bid on a virtual visit or 30 minute writing/publishing/yapping session for Queer Liberation Network www.32auctions.com/organization...

It's time for the Tachyon 30th Anniversary Bundle! buff.ly/YY09ZxU Get award winning fiction and support @eff.org @humblebundle.com #tachyon30 #humblebundle #eff

Hell yeah 🔥

Stopped in at @barnesandnoble.com Ellicott City and Columbia on the way home this week. Pleasantly surprised at the face-out and table presence for all the Spellbinders books. 🥰 I ❤️ my Maryland stores! Thank you.

This is still open for registration and I'm sooooo excited to yap about how to create real inclusive stories beyond white storytelling methods. And if you're interested but not racialized and/or can't make it, I'm running an introductory session to this idea in the Tin House fall workshop series!

Sorry I need to scream about this art by Fabiana Mascolo who captured the main characters from A Wild Radiance perfectly. Who needs a love triangle when you can have an OT3??? Meet Josephine, Ezra and Julian.

Hey all! Last day to send any queries before I close my inbox until October. #querying #literaryagent

Just making sure y’all saw this blurb cause I’m sure as fuck not over it #booksky

Want to hang out with me and get goodies and a print arc? #booksky

Look, I know not everybody loves applying tropes to traditionally published books, but I actually do because I have very specific needs and maybe you do too #booksky #queerbookworms

It's nearing the end of Pride, so I should do some advertising or something: THE BRUISING OF QILWA: adult fantasy queer/transnorm novella; all queer cast; aroace enby MC "Break Through Our Skin" in THE WHITE GUY DIES FIRST: YA horror; enby MC THE GLADE: MG horror; all queer kiddos; aro MC

We are delighted to reveal the gorgeous cover for A Wild Radiance by Maria Ingrande Mora! A new romantic fantasy from Peachtree Teen, A Wild Radiance follows a girl who dares to expose the corruption resting in the heart of her magic ⚡ reactormag.com/cover-reveal...

I think one of my favorite parts of being an author is people finding QILWA almost three years after it came out. Publishing has a short memory, but readers will find the books they need ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m 10 minutes into KPop Demon Hunters and I’m obsessed. 😍

One of the many fun parts of traveling with author friends is popping into bookstores to sign stock. (Also the joy of listening to the bookseller flip out over meeting @leemandelo.bsky.social )

Happy Pride Month! In case you didn’t know, I’m lucky enough to work on some incredible LGBTQ+ stories. So treat yourself this month and pick up a book at your local indie! #lgbtqreads #happypride

If there’s one thing I’m going to do, it’s go all out on a silly powerpoint

Pride reminder that Ranger Academy volumes 1-3 are all ages and queer.

I LOVE being on podcasts and I LOVE @charliejane.bsky.social and @annaleen.bsky.social and @ouropinions.bsky.social and was so happy to talk about public health and SFF!!
