I read Red Sails to Capri by Ann Weil in grad school. So when my son chose Italy as his destination for mom/son trip to celebrate his high school graduation, I put Capri on the list!

I wish we saw more of this in our feeds. 💜🙏🏽

CANCELED due to my pup's health. Sorry for any inconvenience. Three new diagnoses, tons of meds, new diet, and nothing's working. Prayers and good vibes for Jett are appreciated!

MUST READ! I just finished #audiobook GAY THE PRAY AWAY by @natalienaudus.bsky.social, and it shook me! Although different circumstances and #cult, the means of control and brainwashing is exactly the same! Perfect comp for my novel JEZEBEL, currently out on sub. #spiritualabuse #healing

With Jett's chronic illness and my recent work travel, my next issue of WRITE Agent, which is due out today, is slightly delayed! GOOD NEWS is, Jett is finally on the mend! More on that soon! Pic of Jett and Marty to brighten your day! #writeagent #newsletter #writingcommunity

Heads up, illustrators! #kidlit This will be a well-needed boost to start the week.

COVER REVEAL! Lucia's Goals is a story about a young girl's determination to defy gender stereotypes and break through barriers to reach her dreams. Pre-order you copy here a.co/d/iuevbx2 #kidlit #picturebooks #kidlitart #childrensbooks #girlpower #goals #latina #soccer

Prayers for my Jett boy today. He’s getting an endoscopy today to see why he’s vomiting. Even his brother Marty (lighter colored pup) is worried about him, which is saying a LOT if you know Marty. 🖤🙏

Write the book if your heart. Write the books you needed. But remember that there can be a big difference between what you think kids need and what they want. The world today isn’t the world of when you were growing up. Kids can spot preaching, however sneaky you are, a mile away.

Jessica was an activist who worked w/ Cesar Chavez & Dolores Huerta to bring attention to the plight of migrant farmworkers. I hope this book will inspire kids to know that making a difference can start w/ just 1 child. tinyurl.com/36rywcwc #childrensbooks #kidlit #socialjustice #laborrights

Why is fantasy such an important and popular genre? “Cemetery Boys” author @aidenschmaiden.bsky.social says when “we’re talking about heavy stuff [...] it eases it a little bit with a little magic and mystery and mayhem.” #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...
