My hero, Amanda Jones (@librarianjones.com) and I chat on the podcast Always Authors—about Judy Blume, dogs, social media, the terrors of public speaking, and why kids aren’t reading these days.

Today is the 20th anniversary of my first book, and as anniversaries do, this one has me thinking. Between 2006 and 2016, six of my middle grade novels were published. Only half earned out. Three got hardly any trade reviews. None of them got much attention. It was only in 2017, with

TEAR THIS DOWN is putting paperback today‼️ When I wrote this book in 2024, I was thinking about the upcoming election, and the attacks on women’s rights and voting rights. Of course I couldn’t foresee what’s happening in Minneapolis. So for me, this book hits different now.

At our local No Kings demonstration, I chatted with a woman who’d brought her cute dog. A few minutes later she and her brother were introduced to the crowd of 1500 as Woody Guthrie’s grandkids, and they led us all in a heartfelt rendition of This Land is Your Land.

After seeing all the wrong info on Google about my age (including the charming fact that I passed in 2023), I asked it a few more questions. All these answers were bizarrely off—but I’d sure like to meet this crocheting, kayaking Floridian who spent 10 years in Costa Rica!

When a reader’s mom told me her kid looked up my age online—and was way off the mark—I checked out what Google was saying. Wrong wrong wrong wrong.

After grieving the loss of two beloved pets, today we adopted this spunky, mischievous, very sweet 5 month old kitten. Taking suggestions for her name.
