First paddle of the year. Super happy to be back out on the lake.

June is #PrideSeason, and as Canada’s largest recreational reading program, the #ForestofReading is excited to celebrate! Stay tuned as we highlight 2024 nominated titles that celebrate 2SLGBTQQIA+ stories and communities! 💚📚

DELAWARE!!! I’ll be at Bethany Beach Books TONIGHT. Come see me and get a signed copy of SHADOWHEART!! 💔

Just an annoying reminder that my lower YA monster apocalypse novel is now available for request through NetGalley & Edelweiss & can also be added to your Goodreads TBR. Apologies for the boring graphic but I'm on deadline for the sequel and don't have time to pretty it up, lol.

#MSWL In response to the characters-in-college discourse, I'm *definitely* looking for projects w/characters in college (trade school, etc.)! Give me college romance, college adventure, college heists, fantasy colleges, colleges in space!! Looking for both upper YA & New Adult!

Excited to gift these two terrific books to the birthday girl next door. Wake Up, Little Pin by Loretta Garbutt & The Stuff Between the Stars by Sandra Nickel 📚

A well deserved honor for this beautiful book.

Wishing I could go to this beauty of a conference.

Best book I've read in years - THE TREES, by Percival Everett. OMG. Give yourself a gift and read it. You'll snort laughter, be aghast, look inward and question your own buried preconceptions. Did I mention snort laughter? THIS book is why #RepresentationMatters

Since I'm once again seeing threads about how most of today's YA books are geared toward older readers, it might be a good time to mention that my forthcoming YA debut THE SHADOW ROAD was written specifically with younger teens in mind. Perfect for 13-17. Help me spread the word?

Such amazing praise for BEAR'S BIG IDEA on Literary Hub. "The clever, emotionally astute text by Sandra Nickel is perfectly matched by Il Sung Na’s illustrations, which are some of the funniest and most engaging examples of picture book art I’ve seen recently." lithub.com/a-fall-harvest…

Set up a ‘Drive-In’ movie in the backyard last night. The Littles were super pumped.
