Okay #MYNEIGHBORHOOD, is just under 100 days away from being on shelves! Yeah, pretty cool, I know! However, I need your help. That's right!! You & a friend & their friend & that uncle with a friend, who knows a guy, that talks to that girl, who knows people that can and will...PREORDER.

At ALA, I get to speak with #librarians, because without them and #libraries, how can we share our #talents, #knowledge, #gifts, #cultures, & other forms of written communication! Go visit a #library, get a library card, & read a book this summer, fall, winter, & spring! Sept 15, 'My Neighborhood'!
