My doctor is going to wag her finger at me during my physical tomorrow because my cholesterol is high after I ate all the cheese on my travels through Spain, which will be nosy and rude. 🧀

Happy paperback release day to THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF THE ORDINARY BARNEY FLARFF! Thank you to all the teachers, readers and librarians who have supported this story about an ordinary boy who falls into a book and must finish the quest to make it home. Are you ready to be the hero? ⚔️
I just saw The Odyssey. Very good, but not a whole lotta belly laughs in that one. Follow me for more insightful movie reviews. 🎬
The hardest part of my backtracking trek was hauling my @brandonsanderson.com book up to 12,000 feet. But epic stories call for epic reading locations! ⚔️
I’m not a professional photographer, but my goodness I think this is a good shot! Alaska, coming in hot! 🏔️
When you ask your friend to take a pretty photo of you in front of the hotel.
I can't wait to celebrate with everyone! For those are coming, there might even be some surprise magic! ⭐

Congratulations to my friend, Laura Resau, who wrote this dreamy book “set among the sun-drenched villages and winding rivers of southern France, where artists, musicians and dreamers gather.” There’s even a wine witch! 🍷 I can’t wait cozy up with this one! ⭐️
Are fire alarms programmed to chirp from low battery at 3am? Or is there a chirp goblin in my house, and why does it want to hurt me so? 😈
My parents just proudly told me that they left the first review of my new book on Amazon, and I feel like they missed out on a good joke by not giving it 1-star. ⭐️
Happy book birthday to The Extraordinary Adventures of the Ordinary Barney Flarff! Barney is about an unheroic boy who falls into a mysterious novel and must become the hero and finish the quest to make it home. Are you ready to be the hero? ⚔️
I don’t understand comic sans hate. I once got a job from a resume written in comic sans. Wait, I don’t think that happened. Still, I love comic sans and will fight for its right to exist.
Disneyland is more fun with theatre majors who know where the camera is.
Great. A pirate left their treasure chest outside my apartment. Again. 🏴☠️
When I went to my doctor last week, the nurse asked what year I was born, and without hesitation I said 1874, thinking that was true. Confusion ensued, but I’m happy to report I’m not, in fact, 152 years old.

As an older woman, my taste in home decor has matured since I was a whimsical teenager. Such as this rusted skeleton key I just bought along with a Magic Shop sign. ⭐️
I’ll be making my New Year’s Resolutions in February. January will be spent de-cheesing. That will take my full focus and everything else will have to wait. 🧀
My power was out so I was forced, forced I say, to spend the evening reading a book by cozy candlelight. 🕯️
My forthcoming book has a cover! So I made another overdramatic book trailer! Thank you to Felipe De Castro for the dreamy illustration. (IG:@felipe.d.reyes). THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF THE ORDINARY BARNEY FLARFF ⭐
I got halfway through my first day of the @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social annual writing conference when my sweet piggie princess decided she needed to see the doctor. I’m so sad to miss out on spending time with my fellow writers, learning from the best, but my old fur baby needs some snuggles instead.
My neighbor created a Little Free Stick Library in honor of their doggie who passed and it’s the most wholesome thing in all the land! 😭🐶
I took a photo of a castle and I think it’s the most castley photo of a castle ever.
A few doors in the Cotswolds that I wish I could knock on and peer inside these magical places. ⭐️
First day in the Cotswolds coming in hot! Went straight to The Bell Inn, an early 19th century pub frequented by J.R.R. Tolkien that served as the real-world inspiration for the Prancing Pony, the pub in Bree where Frodo meets Aragorn. Thank you for coming to my Nerd talk. ⚔️
If you’re at the Colorado Association of Libraries conference, stop by and learn about my Cryptozoology for Kids presentation. 🦄 I’m handing out ‘Bigfoot believes in you’ stickers! 🐾
I rarely go backpacking, but when I do, I look like I rarely go backpacking. 🏕️
My new book has a release date! So I made another overdramatic book trailer. ⭐📚
If Jessica Fletcher broke bad and began wreaking more havoc on the town than the criminal she's chasing. A speculative mystery - THE PLACE THAT SCARES THE MOST - and no, that's not the local hair salon. #UnhingedPit #amquerying #q #adultmystery
