I went to an autumn vendor market today and had to buy this wooden witch named Old Crow. There's a character in THE MOUNTAIN OF DEMPSEY MOLEHILL named Old Crow, and the kids believe she's a witch.

THE MOUNTAIN OF DEMPSEY MOLEHILL is included in the September 2025 batch of Middle Grade ARCs available through @booksirens! Download one (or all) of these titles at the link below. booksirens.com/bundle/middle-…
I have 10 digital ARCs available for THE MOUNTAIN OF DEMPSEY MOLEHILL. If you want to read about 5 siblings with a penchant for mischief (both intentional and accidental) while their dad runs for mayor, request a copy here: bit.ly/molehillarc #kidlit #middlegrade
My printer is telling me that I'm low on ink, but the full proof of THE MOUNTAIN OF DEMPSEY MOLEHILL is now printed and ready for a final review before ARCs start to go out. #IndieAuthor #writing
WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS and A MONSTER CALLS are the only books I've read that brought me to tears. Both are heartbreaking and magnificent. Both capture truths of life and love and loss. Both are written for young readers. There is so much power and meaning found in #kidlit
Today's slice of life: That moment when you get your car back from your (much taller) mechanic and the seat is a mile away from the pedals.
This was me yesterday, 10 minutes into my read-aloud proofing session and having a crisis as I realized the billionth draft needs still more editing and polishing.

I wonder what ever happened to Trapper Keepers. I remember when they were on my school supply list in junior high; my entire middle school career was organized in that thing. I haven't seen one in years.
I treated myself to two print subscriptions this year (@WritersDigest and @PublishersWkly). Digital reading is helpful and handy in a dozen ways, but nothing beats the dopamine rush of opening the mailbox and discovering a new issue has arrived.
Wishing a happy Mother's Day to all of the maternal folks out there who guide and influence future generations!
Originally my book was on my lap, but Vincent decided he needed to be on my lap. I moved the book to the arm of the chair, and Vincent decided his tail needed a little more space. This boy is determined to steal all of my attention away from reading. #CatsOnTwitter #reading
Question for the #WritingCommunity - what techniques or tools do you use to stay on track with finishing your WIP? I just set up a spreadsheet with deadlines for each chapter I'm revising. I'm curious what others do to inspire them to return to the keyboard and keep working.
I've spent 10 years writing ... and rewriting ... and rewriting ... THE MOUNTAIN OF DEMPSEY MOLEHILL. This is the year. 2025 is going to be the one where I finally wrap up this novel. Deadlines are set and a plan is in place. Wish me luck! #amwriting #WritingCommunity
Tonight I'm killing my darlings. There are two paragraphs I love at the beginning of a chapter, but they kill the momentum of the story. My inner editor says chop-chop while my inner writer cries quietly. #writing
As I'm looking up the temperature and duration needed for combustion of homemade gunpowder inside an oven, a refrain keeps running through my head.
Being a writer means Googling nefarious information for plot points and not crime (and hoping the police never have a reason to investigate your search history). #amwriting #WritingCommunity
Wishbone and Book-It absolutely fueled my fire to read as a kid.
