The Dark Times of Nimble Nottingham The London Blitz meets Shadow Monsters

Visiting the local Indie bookstore. Look! Friends!

I loved that they had Valor Wings front facing. And I might have left Nimble Nottingham front facing, too. 😄

Sunrise on a foggy morning

Had a blast meeting young readers and new and old author friends at Books by the Banks in Cincinnati!

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??

Yes! Great to meet you too! And it looks like we’ll be at the same show again this weekend at Books by the Banks, so I’ll be sure to stop by.

WOW! 🤯Sold out of books! Was not expecting such a great turnout and enthusiasm at the Buckeye Book Festival for Valor Wings and The Last Shadow Warrior, but I'm grateful! 🙏

Thank you!! 🙏

Soooo excited to announce my next book for kids due out next Fall! Any junior True Crime enthusiasts out there?? Or if you like I Survived, be sure to check this out!

It's a ⭐️review for @victorpineiro.bsky.social's upcoming MG novel! "A vibrant blend of contemporary coming of age with mythological adventure. Nico’s unforgettable summer is deeply rooted in love for family, storytelling, and the history of a place that is both magical and real."

We had a blast chatting with students from Hunter's Creek Middle School in Orlando! Lots of great questions, conversation, and of course--book recs!

Dubious author achievement unlocked: Signing a body part for the first time!

A fifth grade boy at a local book fair already had an author's name scrawled across his forehead and asked me to sign his neck. Turns out, not that easy to sign on skin with a Sharpie!

Verse Novel Infographics: Agent/Editor Edition In January I promised this further post, where I’ve put some of the Agent/Editor data, and author stats from the middle grade verse novelist master list. You can see the masterlist of MG NIV …

@subity.bsky.social brought a bunch of middle grade data out in January. Here’s a little more focus on one particular form: middle grade novel-in-verse. #NationalPoetryMonth

Image shows two stacks of books by Middle Grade Authorcade authors, with the text, Author Visit! With 3 of these authors! Reading Rocks!

April is National Poetry Month! If you're looking for a book that's "intensely readable" (School Library Journal) be sure to check out Unsinkable Cayenne!

Thank you!

Here's the visual I use to describe the creative process to students. Your initial spark of excitement is going to wane and maybe even flame out entirely. But the magic happens when your "won't quit" kicks in and you finish that amazing thing you started.

Dear Teachers, Librarians, & Parents!
Check out our new series, First Chapter Fridays! Up this week:

Awesome! Thank you, Adrian! 🤩

I can’t wait to read @subity.bsky.social’s book, VALOR WINGS, with my fifth-graders. It’s going to be a fantastic read aloud! #TeacherSky #KidLit

Kids are always asking me what my writing process looks like. So I decided to apply my data skills to explain it in a visual:
