Photo of magazine feature article, heard lines “Bouldering On - a Guide to Getting Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place- On Purpose” by Carrie Karnes Fannin. A picture shows a dark haired woman in pink leggings free climbing a rock face
Check out NW Georgia Living Magazine’s March/April 2026 issue - there’s a new byline in town. 😉😎 This was a fun piece to do as I don’t often have the chance to merge my love of being outdoors with writing. (link to e-copy in the 1st comment)

A suggestion: use bird seed, rather than de-icing salt to assist melt (lowers snow albedo) while also providing traction. Birds scratching also helps!
Thrilled to find THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES on @imaginationsoup.bsky.social's Best Middle Grade Books of 2025 list! Sooooo many amazing titles here - including lots of my 2025 favs! imaginationsoup.net/best-middle-...
Books❤️📚 gifts that keep on giving!
Honored by @teresarobeson.com's blog post sharing my books. Like her, I urge you to gift books to kids, especially ones that widen their world, spark curiosity, inspire them to chase possibilities & recognize their own capableness.

Raccoon clinging to ladder on back of garbage truck
Meet your new garbage man, I guess? I’ve been seeing a lot of articles lately about raccoons showing signs of domestication, but didn’t expect they’d skip right over being pets and go straight into having jobs. #TrashPanda 🤣
When I read the full review of THE OCEAN'S HEART I cried (tears of joy)...Okay, I'm still crying. The reviewer connected with this book on every level. I hope other readers will, too. ❤️@steelworksliterary.bsky.social @lernerbooks.bsky.social @carolhinz.bsky.social #Edusky #Skybrarians #kidlit
