Malinda has been doing so much incredible work for the cause both behind the scenes & being a public figure for the right to read. Would love to see, I don't know, 10 donations to AABB in her name today. Be a great way to thank her for her work.

Grateful for the people I’ve met via the kidlit sphere—both old friends from pre-debut and more recent ones. It’s been really gratifying to continue to meet awesome writers/illustrators/librarians/teachers/etc. #kidlitchat

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

I have a full-time job unrelated to my writing. I also have a partner who's a playwright with his own full-time job unrelated to his writing. For a years, the writing income was nonexistent and now it provides a nice cushion, especially when we need to do big things like replace the roof.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

Going back through old photos and found some of Bodo before he came to live with us. I keep forgetting he's an older dog until I see how brown his face was and how much white he has now.

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up.
This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.
