@acuevaswrites @DerrickChow2 @tracybwrites @SAMarRodriguez @jamarperry 2 years!! How is that possible?!

Happy Book Birthday to @HeyJasonJune and OUT OF THE BLUE!!

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

I signed this letter as an author, a parent, and an educator. The rights of kids to read widely and diversely must be protected! Thank you to @soontornvat and @diversebooks for organizing!

@samclarkwrites @JenGenn Thanks Sam! 😍

@JenGenn I LOVE art inside books! My GEMSTONE DRAGONS series has artwork inside, but they're chapter books, so a bit younger and shorter than #mglit. But I LOVE the inside artwork. THE SECOND BEST HAUNTED HOTEL ON MERCER STREET by @CoryPutmanOakes has wonderful interior art #mgbookchat

@soontornvat For you, and for all of us.

@sarahlapolla Very glad to hear it! Take care of yourself!

@sarahlapolla Sarah!! Lots of love to you. Stay safe and get well soon!

@p_sophocleous Thanks so much!

@CoryPutmanOakes I just finished the two Dinosaur Boy books! Loved them, delightfully silly, yet with strong and important messages. A great way to get kids thinking about these topics. But really bummed they're aren't any more!

I have a shiny new author website! It's been a bit of a saga and since I enjoy writing horrible poetry/song lyrics when I'm stressed, I present to you a new interpretation of the Twelve Days of Christmas song (the Web Guy Ghosted Me version!) coryoakes.com
