In the waiting room for a diagnostic mammogram and I am 100% sure they are playing a smooth jazz version of “Heard it Through the Grapevine.”

All I can see in my head are dancing raisins. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Had a blast hanging out with Lee Miao at the ALA Conference! So grateful to the Eastern PA SCBWI leadership for booking a spot at ALA this year. In an hour & a half, I was able to hand out 20 copies of Slip to eager readers and libraries. Mission accomplished.

This week, a (middle-aged, white dude) friend told me he finished reading Slip while on a work trip. Said he enjoyed it. But most importantly, he said he passed it on to a friend who has a daughter he thinks needs it.

And THAT is why I wrote Slip.

L Ryan Storms @lryanstorms.bsky.social · Jun 24

Friday! Come say hi. I’ll have 30 copies of slip to give away for FREE.

Berks Celtic Fest this Saturday where it’s supposed to be a cool 84 degrees. (Which will feel like a cold front after this week…)

Come celebrate all the Celtic music, dance, food, & drink. Buy yourself a new book, escape reality for a short time, & revel in your ability to embrace empathy.

L Ryan Storms @lryanstorms.bsky.social · Jun 23

Librarians, come see me at ALA (Booth 2366) on Friday! I have 30 free copies of Slip to give away to get into school and community libraries. (My other books will be available for sale, too!)

In between attacks on human rights, destruction of climate, and hatred and violence spewed online and in-person, good things CAN still happen. Never forget to celebrate them. They matter.

Lifelong dream? Accomplished today. Thanks for the warm welcome @sfwa.bsky.social!

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

A quick 🧵of the incredible sights in cities across the USA right now.

Millions are on the street speaking out against Trump & Musk trampling the Constitution.

Let’s start here with Salt Lake City 😳👏

#HandsOff #HandsOff2025 #FiftyFiftyOne

Thousands are seen spread out for hundreds of metres towards buildings in the distance. The mountains are seen on the horizon.

Some of my favorite signs from today’s #handsoff rally in Boston

Members of the MA chapter of Authors Against Book Bans holding our signs in Boston Common: left to right - LGBTQ+ books save lives, Bans off our books, Free speech makes America great, Hands off libraries

A sign at the rally reading: Insecure men are threatened by strong women

A sign at the rally reading “Lock em up” with the faces of Trump, Musk and Vance behind bars

I am standing with my back to the camera holding my sign that says Bans Off Our Books. Next to me is another person holding a sign reading Deceitful Oligarchs Grabbing Everything (DOGE)
