In the waiting room for a diagnostic mammogram and I am 100% sure they are playing a smooth jazz version of “Heard it Through the Grapevine.” All I can see in my head are dancing raisins. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Had a blast hanging out with Lee Miao at the ALA Conference! So grateful to the Eastern PA SCBWI leadership for booking a spot at ALA this year. In an hour & a half, I was able to hand out 20 copies of Slip to eager readers and libraries. Mission accomplished. #americanlibraryassociation

This week, a (middle-aged, white dude) friend told me he finished reading Slip while on a work trip. Said he enjoyed it. But most importantly, he said he passed it on to a friend who has a daughter he thinks needs it. And THAT is why I wrote Slip.

Berks Celtic Fest this Saturday where it’s supposed to be a cool 84 degrees. (Which will feel like a cold front after this week…) Come celebrate all the Celtic music, dance, food, & drink. Buy yourself a new book, escape reality for a short time, & revel in your ability to embrace empathy.

In between attacks on human rights, destruction of climate, and hatred and violence spewed online and in-person, good things CAN still happen. Never forget to celebrate them. They matter. Lifelong dream? Accomplished today. Thanks for the warm welcome @sfwa.bsky.social!

A quick 🧵of the incredible sights in cities across the USA right now. Millions are on the street speaking out against Trump & Musk trampling the Constitution. Let’s start here with Salt Lake City 😳👏 #HandsOff #HandsOff2025 #FiftyFiftyOne (📸Nate Blouin)

Thousands are seen spread out for hundreds of metres towards buildings in the distance. The mountains are seen on the horizon.

Some of my favorite signs from today’s #handsoff rally in Boston

Members of the MA chapter of Authors Against Book Bans holding our signs in Boston Common: left to right - LGBTQ+ books save lives, Bans off our books, Free speech makes America great, Hands off libraries

A sign at the rally reading: Insecure men are threatened by strong women

A sign at the rally reading “Lock em up” with the faces of Trump, Musk and Vance behind bars

I am standing with my back to the camera holding my sign that says Bans Off Our Books. Next to me is another person holding a sign reading Deceitful Oligarchs Grabbing Everything (DOGE)

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

My latest stray is finally getting comfortable enough to not only eat in my yard, but to play & relax here. Soon, he’ll be trapped & neutered & probably returned back outdoors where we’ll continue to take care of him. Maybe he’ll surprise me & want to be an indoor cat, but I’m not counting on it.

My Kirkus review for Slip came in today. I couldn’t be more pleased. I am so glad others see the value in this story. Yes, it’s entertainment. But it’s also so much more than that. It’s a handbook for what healthy relationships should look like. It’s a guidebook for the anxious. ❤️

"DEFTLY BALANCES MAGICAL REALISM WITH A SENSITIVELY OBSERVED PORTRAIT OF A TEENAGE GIRL STRUGGLING WITH DEBILITATING PANIC ATTACKS. A THOUGHTFUL AND SATISFYING BLEND OF MAGICAL REALISM AND ROMANCE."
