Throwback to this drunk don comic I drew

Did you know you can STITCH your zines together? That's right. If you're not into staples, for whatever reason, you can use coordinating or contrasting thread (or ribbon, or twine, or dental floss...) to make limited-edition versions of your booklets. (Reposted with opaque background)

It's been just about two weeks since my graphic novel hit shelves! I'm so thankful from the wonderful support, reviews, and all of the amazing adults and kids I've met since launch who said they were so excited to read it! I hope you get a chance to pick it up too 🌱❤️

I often hear people in the book business assume that novel writing takes more effort and is more time-consuming that graphic novel writing. (I'm not an illustrator, just a writer.) I've written a couple dozen novels and 15 graphic novel scripts. They are different but not faster or easier. 1/

"It's too late" is a mindset born of the idea that pursuit of the arts is frivilous. Pick up a pencil, write a short story, paint something. You'll get better at it the same way the rest of us did: tenacity and practice.

100% this. And comics. Go buy some comics.

I’m still busy on deadline, but I wanted to pop over to say I will be at C2E2 reading from Cloud Puppy vol 2: Game On! I don’t have a table, but I will probably be floating around the floor show until my storytime panel! Come say hi!! #c2e2

They are tryna disappear us. Submit your work. We deserve to be seen and acknowledged for the work we do.

It’s worth saying that book sales are down across the board so far in 2025. If you love authors, buy their books and celebrate them loudly online. We really need it.

Cloud Puppy vol 2: Game On! just made the Indie Bestseller list!! Thank you to everyone who picked up a copy and everyone who helped make it happen! #cloudpuppy #kidlit #childrensgraphicnovels

I have hard news. My niece and goddaughter, Grace, had baby Savannah, in August. We just learned Savannah needs a heart transplant. Grace and Savannah are in a hospital three hours from their family. If you can help them navigate a horrible plot twist, I’d be grateful. tinyurl.com/3eebmk4u

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors. Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts. Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

PSA: library resources! There's hoopla, too, for audio books. Our local library uses Libby, which also does ebooks. I just downloaded Kanopy and Mango to try. 🤘

Cloud Puppy book 2: Game On! has been out for a week!! Thank you to everyone who bought a copy! Also thank you to my marketing team for making this cool book trailer! #cloudpuppy #kidlitart #childrensgraphicnovels #kidlit

Wahhh 😭 my sweet lil book is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection!

I've seen an old misunderstanding going around; that libraries don't benefit authors. But they do! A lot! Here's how:

This sucks and is a huge reason why reading can feel like homework for most students. If kids are allowed to read what they want chances are they’ll seek out more. That’s how you raise lifelong readers. Fart comics are just as important as classic literature.
