Right To Read Day
Portraying gay, trans and nonbinary teens as likable and bright -- in today's climate, that's ban-worthy. Am I afraid that HOLLYWOOD PRIDE will be banned? Not one bit. Bring it on.

Happy Easter!
Happy Passover!
May all who are enslaved be freed, all who are afraid be safe, all who are targeted be accepted.

No Kings Day
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the people, by the people, for the people. I stand, at the twilight's last gleaming, with those who are targeted for the diversity that makes our country great. I write for the day when we are truly indivisible, from sea to shining sea.
International Women's Day
This post is about high school -- girls protecting girls, girls validating girls, girls inspiring girls.

Happy Birthday HOLLYWOOD PRIDE!
One year ago, HOLLYWOOD PRIDE was launched, born into the Age of Banning Books.

Once again, the Pride Flag has been raised at the Stonewall Monument.
I celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, rising above hatred and oppression.

“Now . . . even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream . . . that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (people) are created equal.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
Thanks for connecting. I wish you a new year of light and hope during these dangerous times.

As 2025 draws to a close, I wish you all -- every faith, every racial heritage, every gender, every sexuality -- a happy new year.
To all who celebrate, I wish you a Happy Kwanzaa!
For all who celebrate, I wish you a happy Christmas eve and Christmas day.
Bringing Hollywood Pride into the Miami Book Fair lineup was a powerful experience. If I could have chosen any year to be a part of this community, 2025 would have been it. Here's why.

Hanukkah
At sundown today, the Festival of Lights will begin. These are dark times, and it's hard to find the light.
Refusing to acknowledge World AIDS Day. Brown University. Australia.
I wish you all, every religion and belief system, a season of light, hope, resolve.
Be safe and be well.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks to Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus, for hosting the Miami Book Fair.
I'm proud that Hollywood Pride is now on the shelves of their library!

In a state that many view as the epicenter of banned books, the #MiamiBookFair created an instant community of readers and writers, people uniting in solidarity for freedom to read and freedom to write.
I'm grateful to have been one of this year's #authors.

In Miami for the book fair.
Surrounded by readers and writers.
Can't wait to give my author talk on Saturday.
This. Is. So. Much. Fun.

Congratulations! My novel is part of the book fair's lineup as well. I hope our paths cross in Miami. I'm looking forward to reading your book.
Congratulations! My novel will be in the lineup as well (I'm one of the "unknown" authors). I'll be coming in later in the week. I hope our paths cross, and I'm looking forward to reading your book!
