When I started out, the idea of my writing a novel in verse was laughed at. Today my list of favorite NIVs is too long for the conf. breakout session Kris George and I are planning. What joy! For that list, you'll have to be in the room where it happens! Charlotte Huck Children's Lit Festival 2026.

Since the cat is out of the proverbial bag, thought I'd share the cover of my forthcoming collection of yard sale stories about the things we hold dear, then let go, their history, heartache, joy, and the treasures they become for their new owners. Coming in March. www.amazon.com/Twice-Blesse...

💯!!

For my birthday tomorrow, I am treating myself to a long day writing the final chapter of my art world thriller WIP. This is the furball who will be attempting to drape himself over my keyboard the whole time.

Broken Dolls was blurbed by Stephen King, got a starred review in Booklist (can't share yet) & was recently comped to Oppel's The Nest. I can't believe all these amazing things are happening for my little spooky book. I feel really lucky folks. Preorder: www.harpercollins.com/products/bro...

Hey, hive mind! Traditionally, there has been a #debut group for authors of #mglit for different calendar years. Does anyone know if one exists for 2026 debuts that’s MG specific? (I know there’s a general Discord group for ALL ‘26 debut authors & that’s not what I’m looking for.)

Thank you for sharing this @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social 💙

the strangest post-worldcon thing is that you go back to work and people are like “how was your weekend” and you’re like “I was up for an international literary award” and then you have to be like “did procurement handle that request or do they need a reminder”

WHAT IS LIFE??? Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, or blurbed any of my work, especially @stephenking.bsky.social 🖤 Pre-order: harpercollins.com/products/bro...

I was rereading something I wrote last summer to process my thoughts about the (continuing) difficult state of children's publishing, and as we head back to school (or are settling in), there are a few points that feel worth sending out to the void:

Congratulations and have a great #booklaunch @annmrose.bsky.social 📖 🥳 Also ooo this cover is so 🔥
