I'm just gonna post a piece of my art from my files every day til the New Year because WHY NOT. Here's a drawing I did in 2017 for my novel ALL THE CROOKED SAINTS.

Today's kid fanmail motivation is from Madeline, who drew me atop a mountain with a rainbow, which is my happy place. #kidlit #amwriting #writingcommunity

Throwback to when I made a booktrailer for Daybreak in Raven Island... Fun, but definitely a stretch for my skillset, lol. #mglit #halloween #booksforkids #booktrailer #canva

This butterfly mistook me for a flower until it found one. #colorado #mountainlife #butterfly

Peeped the leaves and avoided the crowds. Turns out that, as with everything, the answer is the forest. #colorado #woodlandpark #leafpeeping

So this week I'm book talking the wonderful junior novels that kids in CO nominated for our 2026 state award!

Looking for summer books for your (reluctant) kid reader...? I got you 😎 #kidlit #mglit #mystery #summerreading #scarybooks

If you want to write a book, make a film, paint, make music, or make any kind of art, just do it. Don’t worry about the what ifs or the doubts or the obstacles or the fears. Just write the book. Write the song. Make the movie. Make art. Have fun.

Happy Caturday from the fosterfloofs. #cats #kittens #caturday

Looking forward to reading this book I requested at my library... Even better to know other people can discover it as well. #fridayreads #librarylove #colorado

I started this one today by reading a story to each of my 5 hours. It was so fun and they were absolutely silent. No kiddos tomorrow or I’d do it again. Guess I’ll have to finish on my own! #bookposse @owlhollowpress @fleurbradley.bsky.social

Always love it when the library buys a book I request :-) Can't wait to read this next Ben Guterson book... #fridayreads #mglit #kidlit #librarylove

Looking forward to leading a session at NCTE in November. My fellow panelists are amazing... Hope to see you there! #teachers #literacy #kidlit #mglit #ncte2025
