I’ve been making school author visits! And it has been a blast! ☺️🥳😝 I’m currently booking for Fall 2023. Please visit kchowrites.com to contact me about a school visit! #authorvisit #schoolvisit #librarians #teachers #christyottavianobooks @lbschool

EVERY BIT OF KATE MESSNER'S POEM. As a debut, it's been tough. BUT, there was a girl who brought my book to school every day to read it between classes. And it's dog-eared and worse for wear...and I hold that memory close.

The Great Texas Dragon Race made @TXLA’s 2024 Spirit of Texas (SPOT) Reading List! I’m so honored to be on this list aside so many fantastic authors. Because I think I said it best there, I’m including the final paragraph from my acknowledgments… “And Texas—this book has been my love letter to the better parts of you. Your complicated past and present are sometimes difficult to witness. But your majestic horizons, hidden beauty, and incredible diversity leave me ever hopeful for your future.” @HarperChildrens @FolioLiterary

First ever book signing (yes really!) with @KChowrites — wonderful experience! Thanks to Karen for letting me come. Check out her beautiful book MIRACLE.

While touring colleges in Massachusetts for my daughter I visited a few bookstores to see my friends! Feel free to tag any friends of yours you see in these great collections! One bookstore was in Amherst and the other was in Northampton.

@SC_wife_n_mommy @nursepooh1 @LittleBrownYR I love that! I’m so glad it resonated with you. 💕

@KChowrites @nursepooh1 @LittleBrownYR I completely related to Miracle’s story. ❤️

So much love to #bookposse for keeping Miracle circulating! And thanks @SC_wife_n_mommy for reading! #christyottavianobooks @LittleBrownYR

Love these beautiful reviews! Thank you @andreakeyo for reading! ❤️

@SC_wife_n_mommy @littlebrown Thank you for reading!!! ❤️❤️❤️

#Miracle is a fantastic book! Music was such an important part of Amie’s life until grief distanced her from everyone. While healing was difficult, she finally realized how important it all was. @KChowrites @littlebrown #ReadMiracle #BookPosse

Wow!!! Thanks @JenGenn!!! So exciting that Miracle is at @BooksofWonder!

Happy book birthday, @maura_jortner! 102 DAYS OF LYING ABOUT LAUREN is out today! 🥳🥳
