#TLSkyChat A7: I'm an author, and author visits drop *way* off in the summer. Are you involved with any book clubs - even virtually! - that authors could visit? I see so much reading joy being generated when I visit with students. How can we authors help spark this joy over the summer?

Things I did not have on my Bingo card: editing a book about WWII spies while quietly singing "Row, row, row your boat" to myself.

The L'Engle!! ...there aren't many time I'll get an XKCD comic before my husband does, but this will be one of them! (The one and only other time I can think of was back in the 2000's where the caption text had a joke about Renesmee 😂 )

I've been working on a non-writing project all year! This is very much a learn-as-I-go hobby, and I had a big day yesterday - finally staring to quit the quilt! Is it messy? Yes! Do I love it? Yes 😊

Thank you so much!! I'm thrilled you loved this book! It's wild to think about what was going on in and around Mount St. Helens 44 years ago...

Might be a personal best for Number of Books Open While Drafting 😂 Thought I was leveling up when I got an actual book-holder-opener (a technical term 😉), but apparently one wasn’t enough.

Back from an absolutely incredible spring break!! Paris, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and Munich. So much walking 😂 I think after a week away, we're finally in shape for our European vacation!

Such a fantastic start to March is Reading Month! I managed to sneak in a bit of (very cold!) sightseeing in NYC. Then, it was off to Long Island for visits with Plainview-Old Bethpage SD. I had a great time talking with the students, and they asked some truly insightful questions!
