For elections to the House of Repressentatives, any blue district is a target. Blue districts in red states could be subject to ICE intimidation. There aren't enough blue districts in blue states to win the majority in the House.

I'm looking for recent or upcoming MG sci-fi titles with humor--that is, not so serious or earnest. TIA!

Well, on STTNG, virtually every important cast member got to be captain at one point or another.๐Ÿ˜ That being the case, I choose Counselor Troi.

I've got a new blog post up. It's all about found sounds and how they can inspire music and even stories.

The well-known phrase "that being said" is incorrect. Since it refers to something that was completed in the past, it should be "that having been said." I'm sure this bit of trivia will spur you on your publishing journey. #kidlit

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

Bookshop.org now sells ebooks! This could be huge for people (like me) who don't want to give Bezos more money.

I would never try to convince you:) But for me, I'd always replace the banana with more ice cream or whipped cream or hot fudge. Uh-oh! I gained five pounds while typing this!

Let's talk banana splits. Bananas are fine on their own, but they don't enhance the taste of ice cream or the other sweet ingredients of a sundae. Better to replace the banana with more ice cream. Let's see him try to put a tariff on Ben & Jerry's.

I'm looking for a software tool that will convert my draft MG novel to speech (TTS). This will allow me to make notes while listening. The tools I've tried so far are so-so. The "speakers" don't change their tone when reading dialog for different characters, the way an audio book reader would.

I have a MG contemporary novel in progress. It's by far the
best thing I've ever written. Will it be good enough? Who knows?
