You know that I am not exaggerating!

I had the pleasure of reading this book recently. It took my breath away and hit me with all the feels!

Please inject this into my eyeballs immediately!

I had the pleasure of reading this book--it's fantastic, and so much fun!

Heck yeah!

For my fellow MG writers, too.

All NSF GRFPs to students choosing to attend Harvard in the Fall were just terminated

I’m curious to hear from others about MG submissions. Labyrinth Road focuses on MG, with select YA titles. Lately most submissions I get have been YA. Are people feeling afraid to write or sub MG because of all the market challenges? I believe there will always be space for great MG novels & series!

There's still way more enthusiasm for YA and NA romantasy, but we won't get that audience in the future unless we continue to put great MG books on shelves now.

My dart frog Lemon perched on a leaf. #frogs

Spending quality time with my indoor plant babies on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

They freak out when I try so I just enjoy watching them!

No, they're not poisonous in captivity, because they don't eat the right food!

In love with my new pet dart frogs. This is Lemon, who loves to climb to the top of the hardscape while hunting flies.

My youngest daughter, Sally, is named after Sal!

Same, I was obsessed when I first read it.

Hello, #kidlitchat! So happy to discover this heartwarming conversation. The Hobbit was my first “big girl” book. I still read it when I’m going through tough times, and think about my father, who introduced me to it.

Why not all six? They aren't mutually exclusive....
