Received this absolutely gorgeous book from @meganefreeman.bsky.social (just look at that cover!). She completely captures the young adult voice in a must keep reading NIV. Thank you so much for sharing with #bookposse.

Behold the stunning cover of my forthcoming YA debut, The Secret to Belonging. Art by Natalie Foss.

Had the loveliest time - such a warm crowd and in such brilliant company!

Excellent virtual school visit with a creative writing class in Ohio where @sylvialiu.bsky.social, Kate Albus, and @subity.bsky.social shared writing wisdom and their choices for writing craft books. Which of these have you read??

See you tomorrow in Brooklyn, friends!

Yes, I can't wait! #NCTE

Paperback editions of You Owe Me One, Universe and Thanks A Lot, Universe, middle grade novels by Chad Lucas.

I still regularly get messages from readers who loved Thanks A Lot, Universe and say, “I can’t wait to read more Brian and Ezra!” That’s when I get to say, “You’re in luck, because I wrote a sequel.” And the even better news is that You Owe Me One, Universe is out in paperback on October 7!

I’m so excited to officially announce a third companion novel in the ALONE series!
Publication is planned for Jan ‘27, but I need help with a title! Should it start with A? Should it be one word? If your readers have ideas, I would love to hear them!

Author Alyssa Colman, a woman with blue eyes and blond hair, holds a copy of her middle grade novel Where Only Storms Grow. The book cover features two children from the 1930s bracing against a dust storm, with green trees in the background.

Happy release day to WHERE ONLY STORMS GROW! This historical novel set in the 1930s dust-bowl era is perfect for fans of the I Survived series and would make a great addition to any home or classroom library. Congratulations, @alyssacolman.bsky.social!
