I'm excited to finally announce that I'm a Board Trustee for Summit County Libraries! I'm so honored and so happy to be playing a tangible role in libraries again, especially for this little district that I immediately fell in love with. It's perfect. summitcountylibraries.org

Can anything top the Utter Exhilaration of getting the newest book of your favorite series??? If you haven't read Nevermoor, you must. #middlegradefantasy #amreading

This was a really great feeling. First time I've seen my name in print! Summit County CO residents, you can get this off the shelf at the library. And everyone can read my story at leighgaddy.com.

This year, I had the thrill of winning the Adult Short Story category in the Write the Rockies contest at @summitlibraries.bsky.social. I was invited on our local radio station, Krystal 93, to talk about it: youtu.be/JfWXpAlO4Q0?... You can read the whole story at leighgaddy.com.

Reveled in the pretty at a local garden center today. The snow is on its way out and I'm hungry for color!

I try a lot of MG fantasy to learn how I want to write. It cuts down what books I can enjoy reading, and SO many I dnf. I then need books I've come to think of as "palate cleansers," books I love, to clear my mind. Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend. The Hobbit. A few others. Writers, what about you?

I've been afraid to buy this book because of how it made people cry. I've been afraid to read it. But now that I am reading it I can't put it down and am trying to ready myself to be devastated. Totally falling in love with these characters. #amreading

I'll be there! There are still openings for anyone who wants to learn more about rhyming -- awesome for picture book authors and author/illustrators. #kidlit @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social

I'm not sure there's anything more delightful for a writer than your favorite notebooks getting delivered. Unless it's a delivery of books. If I'm using paper and pen, it's with a Mnemosyne B5 ruled notebook and the uni Jetstream 0.7 pen. Super smooth combo. What's yours? #amwriting #kidlit

My manuscript is off to my friends at Ground Crew Editorial! I'm supposed to leave it alone for now but can't not write, so...it's on to the sequel! Also, if you want to live your dream of being a mouse in Redwall, then you should play Everdell! #kidlit #amwriting #booksky

I've been carrying my Grocery Store Hyacinth around the house with me. It's a bit of Spring when all is still snow outside.

I don't read a lot of YA but this one got my attention! "A deadly and unprecedented virus is spreading. But those who survive it experience long-term effects no one has ever seen before: utter contentment." www.simonandschuster.net/books/All-Be... #amreading #bookthreads

I'm here for good. Threads is gone. Twitter is gone. I may drop Instagram. Keeping Facebook for now, but may drop my author page there. Find me also at leighgaddy.com. If publishing happens, I'll start a newsletter, and maybe a YT channel since that's where the kiddies are. #kidlit #amwriting
