The Pope
(Stir it like motherfuckin' coffee)
The Pope
(The hell)
This is the Pope

Oh, your car got mags that be dippy dippy dope
But the whole damn nation got the same
Honey only flock to the bee that's the Pope
Not the President with government lame

I have watched the Joan Hickson version of THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY over and over since it first aired in 1984. This is the FIRST time I realized one of the murderers is played by TRUDIE FREAKING STYLER!!!

Curtains of water today flooded parts of the high school and my 16 y.o. put down his games and captured beauty.

Hey @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov -- you fold to the GOP to end the shutdown with abortion and healthcare losing out? I campaign for this.

My gob has been well and truly smacked.

THIS BOOK DIED ON SUBMISSION!

I'm so overwhelmingly grateful for all the love. Team Zomsbury is THE BEST.

Hey, Bay Area -- ahead of the world premiere of Hello, Star, the opera, I am sitting down with composer Carla Lucero, librettist Jarrod Lee, and Opera Parallèle Artistic Director Nicole Paiement for a creators conversation at 836M gallery in San Francisco.

Picture books don't have a page for author acknowledgements so I wanted to make sure to shout out the entire fantastic team behind ZOMBIE AND BRAIN ARE FRIENDS at Bloomsbury.

Everyone listed here got this book to where it is now and I'm sending so much thanks to them today.

I have been a writer for 25 years, a kid's book writer for 10. Today, I was told that the book of mine that came out last week is an instant NYT bestseller, debuting at #5.

It's been a long, shambling road.

OMZ* what a day of mixed-AF emotions: Zombie and Brain is an INSTANT NYTimes bestseller at NUMBER 5!

Congrats to the whole Zombie team! @laancham.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social @thejordache.bsky.social @literaticat.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

To support the Twin Cities community after the Annunciation school shooting last week, the incredible Anne Ursu is raising money to donate copies of my book Not Like Every Day: Finding Calm During School Lockdown Drills to local schools. Support, if you can, with donations or shares.

Very conflicting emotions today as I celebrate TWO book birthdays. I'm very proud of NOT LIKE EVERY DAY *and* ZOMBIE AND BRAIN ARE FRIENDS. Both sold in the exact same month in 2022 to different champions (editors) who have been so supportive and wonderful to work with.
