In the #authorlife category of "things that make all the hard work worth it," a 99-year-old fan of SONG OF FREEDOM, SONG OF DREAMS cut out this article about Leipzig and gave it to me because she thought I'd enjoy it. (Leipzig was home to the peaceful protest movement I wrote about in SOFSOD.) 💛🥰

Sorry to say this is misinformation. This is the Trans Lifeline number. There's a US equivalent that is not govt-funded.

Recording a video for the #ForestOfReading program, and I've come to the sad realization that I have absolutely zero control over my eyebrows while I talk.🤪
