Today is my #Covidiversary--1 yr since I developed symptoms of the virus. I feel sad & angry that I've been battling it for so long. But I also feel proud that, despite everything, my family & I have not only survived but thrived. I'd like to mark the day somehow. Suggestions?

Wow, this is good book company to be in! Happy final reading, everyone! That should be a tough battle. :)

Literally tearing up with happiness right now. Didn’t even feel the pinch. #covidvacccine #longhaulcovid #takethatcovid19

.Martin Leicht took this photo of me right after my first shot today. Feeling pretty darn good. #CovidVaccine #longhaulers

I had been scheduled to appear at the Plum Creek Literacy Festival next year, but after learning about the homophobic policies of the host University, I made the decision to drop out. I'm sorry to the readers I won't meet, but this feels like the right call.

This is a really awesome story, about a 4th grade teacher who found a way to reassure her students after having brain surgery (!!), & I'm so honored my book and I got to be a small, surprising part of it. So glad you're back at work, K.D.! :) wtae.com/article/bethel…

Ms. Meucci's story about reading to her students after her brain surgery gets a segment on Inside Edition, and MR. WALKER STEPS OUT gets a brief cameo. :) We are all so glad you're feeling better, KD Meucci! insideedition.com/media/videos/t…
