"I'd been interested in Marine Biology before reading THE NEPTUNE PROJECT, but this... solidified that dream for me. I plan to pursue a degree in marine biology and do field work in ocean conservation." Emails like this one make creating books all worthwhile! #OceanConservation #MG #kidlit
Do you live in Texas? Get the book club together, get the group chat together, get the cousins together, get whatever crew you have together & get on the phone. The special session to consider this bill (again!) is next Tuesday 7/22 so this is the week to really lay into them.
I enjoyed talking with Beth about ways kids can become better writers and advice for recently published folks. #writetip #writetipforkids #mgfantasy
So fun to learn that students all over New Mexico will be reading about Kie and her skysteeds! Fly safe, fly free! #battleofthebooks #newmexico #schoollibrarians
So fun to come across this great fan art depiction of Nere, the heroine of THE NEPTUNE PROJECT, my MG dystoptian novel about teens fighting to survive in the sea, and they can talk to dolphins!! #mglit #kidlit #dolpins
So many GOOD government programs are being cut, including this one that reaches 300,000 people across our great state of Colorado. Please contact your senators and representatives now to save Colorado Humanities coloradohumanities.org

Fun morning at Steamboat Montessori where I gave my author and dolphin program. These kids were acting out an ocean food chain, and afterwards they asked GREAT questions. School visit #26 this year :).
