Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

🩷 You are brave, but take care of yourselves out there! #booksky #frogandtoad

Frog and Toad from the children’s book “Frog & Toad are Friends” are looking at their reflection in the mirror. Text on the page reads:

“We look brave,” said Frog.

“Yes, but are we?” Asked Toad.

The show is a farcical Greek play inspired by one of the main people behind Prohibition, Wayne Bidwell Wheeler, who sucked ass. You'll like it! And if you don't, there are 3 other shows to enjoy. Streaming tickets are here (use code BEER25 for a discount): watch.eventive.org/chaintheatre...

Happy #ArtAdventCalendar season! I’ll start off my jumble of drawings with this round little catbird that I drew a few years back, during my first Birdtober. #art #illustration #birdart

The secret is that other writers aren't competition; they're peers, colleagues and friends. Someone who reads me is going to read other writers as well; the entire publishing economy is "yes, and." Therefore it does me no harm, and much good, to support other writers and to wish them well.

This week we whipped up a little something wonderful… ✨🧈👩🏽‍🍳🍰⏲️ I can’t express how grateful I am to Jess for bringing us together to whip up a little proof of concept, and an entire puppet from scratch, in just about three days. Deep deep joy!

Four humans and a puppet smile for the picture!

Hi Blue Sky! I’m a storyteller who’s worked on the stage & screen across the US and UK, with puppets, and most often, these days, I narrate audiobooks. I love, love, love filling my days with meaningful stories. Here are few I’ve recently narrated 🤗📚🎧❤️

Cover for Jessica Ward’s THE ST. AMBROSE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS. An old, big, fancy boarding shop old building is seen in the distance across a perfect lawn from an outcropping of hedges (which border the cover image). The image is hot pink and black.

Cover image for Megan Collins’ THICKER THAN WATER. A silhouetted house has two large windows. In each one appears the shadow of a woman facing the other. The cover is a series of dark blues with em yellow light coming from the windows. The background is a piece of torn wallpaper.

Cover image for Sally J. Pla’s THE FIRE, THE WATER, AND MAUDIE MCGINN. A girl stands on the beach in front of a giant incoming wave. The sky is the color of fire. To her right it says “Each wave is a new start.”

Cover image for Justin A. Reynolds’s HOUSE PARTY with nine colorful teenagers partying on a couch. One had a pizza. Another is holding a goat.

exactly two months ago, HAILEY AND THE DRAGON (the second book in “the mythics” series) came out. I couldn’t be prouder of this story, which includes: 🐉 three different mythical beasts 🌋 two extreme, dangerous biomes 🩹 a brave, reckless, enthusiastic protagonist who’s always on the move and…
