One of the goals this year is to treat social media more like how we used to “go on the computer” in the olden days: brief and concentrated instead of diffuse over the course of the day

My next middle-grade novel in verse, WOMBAT WAITING, comes out on May 5, 2026. 🧡

I just love the cover, which was drawn by @artofjen.bsky.social and designed by Amy Ryan at @harperkids.bsky.social.

My thanks to the one and only @mrschureads.bsky.social for today's cover reveal and interview!

Happy Saturday! My only goal this weekend is to finish the book on the nightstand, the one in my bag, the two on the eReader, and the audiobook on my phone.

Wasn’t until I got home from the library book sale that I realized my name was already stamped on one of the books I bought… I love that my students are donating books to the town library. I just wish it wasn’t my classroom library books 😐
