#mswl - Here are some things I'm longing for in my inbox!
While I'm open to all MG and YA fantasy I'm especially craving second-world, epic fantasy adventures. Lately I've been devouring the Alanna books by Tamora Pierce. Send me stories with unusual crafting trades and competent protagonists.

I've been thinking a LOT about magical girls recently. (I always do, but more than usual!) This genre can fit so many cute and devastating tropes.

www.amazon.com/Realism-Chal... Artwork from THE REALISM CHALLENGE. All the illustrations in the book were created using watercolor, colored pencils, and white gouache. When this book got published in Japanese, that was definitely one of the high points of my career.

Sometimes if you really commit to a bad joke it becomes the funniest bit in your repertoire. For months I insisted that the rice in my roommate's takeout orders was for the dog, and they never laughed. I finally got them to crack up over it out of context, and now they gleefully joke about rice too.

I finally found one of my books on the shelf in a library!!! This has been my white whale because the library sends returned books around to all different locations, and the librarian told me that mine get a lot of circulation. (Yay!!!) 💕

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Writing a novel... is so hard!
I already knew this, but it's been ages since I've drafted one, and wow how does anyone do this? (My prose clients are free to laugh at me.)

May I Ask For One Final Thing kicks so much ass. 🤭 (Seriously, watch it!!! The humor reminds me of Spy x Family but somehow more absurd and angsty.)
This has been a satisfying show to watch

Happy Ace Week to Kyle, the aspec protagonist of my upcoming graphic novel Wing It. Somehow this feels like the most vulnerable topic I've written about — and I published a memoir! :P
Last month I finished inking my third graphic novel, WING IT, which is about Kyle, an autistic (like me!) boy who starts a true crime podcast with his boyfriend about the local crows' trinket thefts. Here's proposal artwork for it from 2023! It'll be out from LB Ink in 2026. #graphicnovels #comics
