An elegant night with my elegant wife—and a room full of elegant book loving people! Celebrating the Texas Book Festival’s 30 year anniversary. I spoke on a panel of Texas Writer Award recipients, moderated by Sarah Bird, and panelists Lawrence Wright, and Elizabeth Crook.
Sharing incredible books today (and everyday) celebrating Black excellence during our African American Read In. Thanks to @dontate.bsky.social @philbildner.bsky.social, and Glenda Armand for writing about topics kids love: ice cream, high fives, and video games. #AARI25
And the incredible @dontate.bsky.social wrote a great children’s book about him! #BlackHistory #BookSky
Thank you!
The Wartburg Symphony will reimagine the “Nutcracker Suite” during its holiday concert, followed by a jazz interpretation of the same music created by Duke Ellington. My artwork from the book DUKE ELLINGTON'S NUTCRACKER SUITE will be used in the performance.

It was an absolutely perfect day, launching our book, THE DAY MADEAR VOTED (Nancy Paulsen Books), at the East Orange Public Library in New Jersey! Collaborator, Wade Hudson, spoke eloquently and read the poem that inspired the book. Members of the NAAPC spoke, too, and registered voters.
