The Keeping It Real with Arthritis book is now at another local bookstore!!! And yes, I couldn’t leave without getting this unicorn bookmark. Unicorn-themed things & photos have been following everywhere lately. 🦄 Thank you so much #bookbinnorthbrook 💖 #amwriting #bookstore

Effie Koliopoulos You are absolutely right, Effie! You got this! I cannot wait until your beautiful books are on shelves. It WILL happen, my friend! 💖

Effie Koliopoulos I'm in the same boat too, my sweet, Greek friend! It just makes me want to work harder 😘😘😘

Want to give a shout-out to CraftycardsWithAlana On Etsy for making these adorable bookmarks!! 🐸⭐️ Appreciate you throwing in a freebie keychain. And here’s a throwback of a #picturebook I wrote and illustrated back in middle school for a school project. What can I say? I’ve had it in me since.

Thank goodness my library let me pick these up at the drive by window, lol. I’ve entered the land of more mentor texts. Reading topics I’m writing about! ✨📚✨📚✨📚✨📚✨📚✨📚✨ #picturebook #WritingCommmunity #amreading #amwriting #books

Woot woot! ✨ Narrowed it down to four mentors whom I would be equally thrilled to work with. 🥰 Good luck everyone and thanks to Ebony Lynn Mudd and Kailei Pew for creating this opportunity! And to all the mentors who are taking the time to help fellow creatives. #PBRisingStars

It’s National Library Week!! 📚 You can help shine a light on arthritis and raise awareness at your local library, by asking your librarian to order a copy of the Keeping It Real with Arthritis book. The same goes with indie bookstores. See details below on how to do so! 💙
