Writers ~ have you ever wondered why you do it? Have you ever reconsidered the arduous journey to publication? It’s tough, but Be courageous. Keep at it. Hang w/ people who buoy you. Focus on your work – not a contract. And, one day you may receive a picture like this with kids holding *your* book.

I love designing stickers for books. And I can’t wait to get out into the world and talk with kids about this metaphor in February, 2027. #HowToBuildAMiracle

I was saved from drowning at 9 yo. I literally would not be here today if that teenage lifeguard had not seen me go under, pulled me out, and resuscitated me on the dock. Big nod to lifeguards in my novel. #HowToBuildAMiracle So, I too became a lifeguard in college. I dug up this old picture.

Ryder Williams bravely saved a 10-year-old boy from the surf. Honoring lifeguards is a thread from my novel, #HOWTOBUILDAMIRACLE. Why? Because lifeguards are heroes. At the age of nine, I was pulled off the bottom of a pond, unconscious; a teenage lifeguard saw me go under. #LiteralLifesaver

While writing a novel, I tend to collect weird little “connection things” for my desk. For #HowToBuildAMiracle I found this little boat and later small glass stars to fill it. The stars are especially sentimental to me as they remind me of my brother, Michael Eric, who passed when he was almost 4 💔

Good night 💤 When we ban books in libraries or schools before we ban guns, we admit we are more afraid of our children learning than we of them dying.

My brother, Michael Eric, passed away at 3yo. Shortly thereafter, my mother sealed this quote in tape and carried it in her wallet. It comforted me. My novel #HowToBuildAMiracle begins w/ this quote. MC is nicknamed Shakespeare as he loves words. But also nod for my bro ❣️ #mg #grief #mglit #mgreads
