@LoriTecler @SimonKIDS Thank you for this review, Lori! Hope your readers appreciate Leah and all of Team Awkward as much as I do. :)

I think the new TEAM AWKWARD series by Joy McCullough & @veedabybee will be a hit w/my school's readers. The characters & themes in the books are easily relatable for #MGLit readers & at under 200 pages, just the right length for moving on from chapter books. @SimonKIDS (1/2)

@MrSchuReads Thank you so much, John! So glad we share this love of musicals. 🎶

I just read about @veedabybee's forthcoming book, A Few of My Favorite Things: Recipes Inspired by Family-Friendly Musicals! What an amazing idea!!!

@jeffreytleong @Asian_Authors Hi Jeff! I'll email you. Thanks!

@veedabybee @Asian_Authors Hi Veeda, I am a fellow graduate of the VCFA MFA program And was wondering if you plan to attend the AWP 25 conference in Los Angeles? If so, I’m doing a panel on Angel Island, and I would like to invite you to be on it. Please let me know if you’re interested. Onward VCFA! Jeff

I donated query critique, signed copies of LILY AND THE GREAT QUAKE & LI ON ANGEL ISLAND to the Kidlit Against Anti-AAPI Racism Fundraiser #KAAAR Bid to help to fight Anti-AAPI violence! @Asian_Authors kaaarfundraiser.wordpress.com
