I'm honored to share my essay that was printed today in WBUR's Cognoscenti: wbur.org/cognoscenti/20…

I hope you can join me and two other amazing middle-grade authors (L. D. Lapinski and Nora Dåsnes) on June 30 for Books of Wonder's "Middle Grade Pride" event! Follow the link for more information and to RSVP: booksofwonder.com/blogs/upcoming…

I was honored to attend the 2024 Lambda Literary Awards in NYC! Although I did not win, I was honored to be a finalist. Congratulations to Robin Gow, Middle Grade winner and author of "Dear Mothman," and to all the other winners and nominees!

Had to chase a bus to get it, but I just picked up my GrubStreet pal Kasey LeBlanc's debut novel, Flyboy. Beautiful cover--can't wait to start reading! kaseyleblanc.com/books

Had a great day at GrubStreet's Muse and the Marketplace Conference--first time in person since 2019!

I received exciting news this week: JUST LIZZIE has been selected for the ALA's "Rise 2024 Booklist." Each year, Rise recommends recent books for young readers with "significant feminist content." I am honored!

Thank you to the crowd who joined me at @WellesleyBooks for a reading/signing today!

These girls are very excited about the release of Dolls of Our Lives, and I highly recommend it, too! @DollsLivesPod @MaryMahoney123 @allisonhorrocks

I'm thrilled to announce that JUST LIZZIE arrives in bookstores tomorrow! Thank you everyone for your support, and I hope to see you at one of my upcoming events! @JrLibraryGuild @theshelfstuff karenwilfrid.com/events.html

I'm thrilled to reveal the cover of my forthcoming debut novel, JUST LIZZIE! Publication Date: November 14, 2023. Available now for pre-order at your local independent bookstore.😊 (And the usual other places as well.) harpercollins.com/products/just-…

@annbradenbooks Thank you very much, and thank you for encouraging me to take the plunge! 😉

Please RT? Haven't seen 91-yr mom since Oct, but helped launch her debut novel: MILK WITHOUT HONEY. Though she's losing her memory, it's the story of her youth, & she can revisit it again & again. Happy Mother's Day mom. Hoping soon to give you a big hug. amazon.com/Milk-Without-H…

Thank you, Tejasa, for my first-ever pair of Bean Boots! #LLBean

So excited to be at #Muse17 !
