Here's a deep cut: My last big mural, painted on-site at a local arts center for Children's Book Month. Sometimes I think I should write a book involving a muralist and then offer to do a small mural at the bookstores I visit on tour. This was 2004, maybe?

I just finished and really enjoyed @delilahsdawson.bsky.social's RIDE OR DIE! Good, harrowing YA horror that moves. (And I chuckled at "I'm a hater, not a fighter.")

This weekend, RIDE OR DIE won the Dragon Award for Best Young Adult or Middle Grade Novel at Dragon Con! I'm so grateful for everyone who's read it, passed it on to a kid in their life, nominated it, or voted for it! Photo by Matt Dinniman, who also won a Dragon Award for Operation Bounce House!

There is nothing I can say about current events in the news that will speak as clearly as the Author's Note I was asked to write for It Will Only Hurt for a Moment. # TW: discussion of sexual trauma and my firsthand experience of being roofied.

Got an unusual ask here, if folks would be kind enough to help spread the word. If you're a bookseller/bookstore who would be interested, pls comment with your bookstore's name & location. US only, as internatl mail is insane. (But maybe my UK publisher can be talked into something similar?)

So our Spectrum internet went out last night, and a little digging revealed 'scheduled maintenance"-- of which were not warned, ofc. I got angry and decided it was time to switch back to AT&T, but... they make it SO HARD?? I can't log in, they want me to call. NO THANK YOU. #giantdouchevsshitsammie

Does anyone have a favorite Denver bookstore? I'm going to be in the area in November and was thinking about possible events...

Big thanks to @keithrosson.bsky.social for this marvelous Monstera blurb! Since @stephenking.bsky.social is a fan of Keith's work, I guess that makes me King-adjacent now? Other than the fact that Pet Sematary was possibly the most seminal book of my life. Monstera is out 10/13.

There are fewer than 30 entries for this giveaway of MONSTERA. Winner gets chosen tomorrow. Anybody else want to throw in their hat? Tasty little sapphic horror novella?

The Nightward by @rsagarcia.bsky.social had the horrible luck of dropping right after the 2024 US election. Bad timing means it wasn't on all the award lists it should have been. The end of Bloom by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social has lived rent free in my head for *years*

What's a book you love with all your goddamn heart that you believe did NOT get the love and attention it's due? I'll go first, and it's abso-LUT-ely THE CITY IN GLASS by Nghi Vo. There are moments from that book that live in my blood and wake me from the dark.

Rose City Comic Con was an absolute treat, as was signing with Terry Brooks at Powell's in Beaverton. My weekend was filled with amazing moments-- I saw Weezer! I hugged a llama! I ate gluten free goodies! I saw friends! I beheld live condors!!!-- but there were two moments that really stood out. 1/

Who's hungry for some luscious blurbs? So grateful for everyone saying kind things about Monstera, including @johannavanveen.bsky.social @jenniferthorne.bsky.social and @jennykiefer.com!

I think there are many moments-- during any era-- that could've turned Iskat's life around. A warm relationship with a caring mentor, a good friend, knowing someone else from her own species. The system failed her on multiple fronts and with no malice; the peacekeepers were not prepared for war.

If Iskat had been a Jedi during the High Republic, do you think she could have been saved?

Found some @delilahsdawson.bsky.social in the wild in Sauchiehall Street’s Forbidden Planet here in Glasgow!

Authors, how do you get folks to add your book on Goodreads? I thought I could just whip up a giveaway like in the Beforefore Times, but now that costs money. Trying to spread the word on Monstera and it feels like the game changed? Again??

People of Portland, we hope to see you tonight at @powells.bsky.social in Cedar Hills! I am just enjoying the heck out of your fine city, from a great Weezer concert to a great @rosecitycc.bsky.social to this morning's zoo adventure. Let's keep it going!

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of Ride or Die, by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social (who promo'd the sale!), which I *have* but *haven't read*, so if you read it, please let me know what you think. This is the 2nd giveaway I've done for this author.

Okay, I have ONE copy of Monstera with me at @rosecitycc.bsky.social and it's going home with someone TODAY because I DON'T WANT TO CARRY IT. How shall I disperse it??

I need you all to know that today I met a LLAMA named CAESAR who demands HUGS and was SO SOFT and I went to a gluten free bakery with @sarahgailey.bsky.social and then I went to a Weezer concert and AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE
