Stickers for each of my books designed by the incredibly talented Megan Roy. Read on for info on how to score a set of your very own.

Garden planting season. National Poetry Month, which always makes me so happy. The FIREWORKS paperback launch. Tour planning (more soon!). Reading a bunch of middle grade books for no reason except there are a bunch of good middle grade books I haven’t read. Brothers and sisters coming to visit. Eating less cheese, sadly. Finally settling into a work-from-home routine, and fully recognizing what a privilege it is to spend all these months thinking about how I work best and adjusting accordingly. The new Kacey Musgraves on my phone. Taking Avon to Castle Island so she can jam her nose into the sand and sneeze and look startled. Throwing a dinner party, I think. Gearing up to release 9 DAYS & 9 NIGHTS out into the world (have you preordered yet? JUST ASKING). Figuring out what this blog looks like now, and making myself at home here one more time. I am so very glad to be back.

As a thank you for sticking with me, I’ve got a whole bunch of these rockin’ stickers to give away! (…GET IT?) Just email me with your name + mailing address and I’ll send you a full set.

More soon. Spring’s here. xox
