New book coming in December! Thrilled that it has been picked as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard title, because libraries rock, WE NEED TO PROTECT THE LIBRARIES! I’m incredibly happy that my teen action-mystery set in the Cairngorms will be available all over the USA 😁 to borrow or buy.

And here it all comes, all the despicable official bigotry against trans people who are just trying to live their lives, while Bond villain billionaire wizard fiddlers smoke cigars in clueless White Lotus celebration. I’m so furious. Only thing I can do is use it to fight.

Always so delighted to get my PLR statement. My *Ogres Don’t Dance* books are getting more popular as the years go by, not less! ❤️ I love that Ogden is still being enjoyed. (Want me to write you some more, @andersenpress.bsky.social ? 😁)

Cast a beady eye over my teen and tween’s chat group. They’re sharing sunrise pics from their bus journeys to school. So wholesome! Here’s my sunset pic.

My son told me to look at the sky, there’s a window into a brighter world. Maybe he’s right.
