#nokings event today in Saline Michigan — a positive, peaceful event. The camaraderie is strengthening!

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Saline” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

After research, emails ^ are likely #AI spam, scams. From individual people usually @ gmail, well written, complimentary about our books, wanting to do #marketing #author #caution #scamalert

Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:

(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.

Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

New on my blog about a recent author event, book news, and fall y’all. Reading to children is the best! #authorsky #writerblog #kidlit

#advice #help #youropinion ^ I’d truly appreciate hearing from those of you who’ve dealt with more of this. I don’t want to turn ppl off who may truly like my book, possible customers. Also don’t want to waste my time

Fellow #authors: what do you do re unsolicited emails praising your book (nice but w/ motive) & offer mktg you don’t want? 1- ignore 2-canned reply, no thanks 3-ignore & block? 4- other? What? OR the sneaky ones, is this the author of X? I have exciting news about X … #writersky #booksky #advice TY

My annual silliness at our cider mill tailgate — brings me autumn joy

Unconscionable WTAF is happening in the US

Author event at Coreander’s Children’s Bookshoppe went well. I did 2 readings based on when families showed up. Sold/signed 7 books altogether. @bookbaby.bsky.social min price too high, affecting sales, even w/ discounts — bummer. Hoping for momentum for holidays #booksky #kidlit #authorevent

Sharing this for any and all who may need it!

Increíble 😍😆🙌🏽

Tragedy repeating itself — some humans never learn

Fantastic! Congrats to Stephen … just imagine what he’ll do next 😁

Same old playbook: if they say something enough, many people will believe it. He’s the worst of the worst.

He’s heinous — makes me physically sick 🤢

Thank you, I used the word today and you are right!

On Sat morning at 10:30am I’ll be at Coreander’s Children’s Bookshoppe reading from our #newpicturebook Into the Thicket
Tickets (free/only kids need them) are going fast @eventbrite.bsky.social says!

Ugh auto correct strikes: Roald

Ronald Dahl for sure!

Some of my favorites were Frederick by Leo Lionni, The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. Extra pts for Frederick! I have revisited, but good idea. I’d like to read Mouse again.
