I used to cook. Then I started writing books and well, I'm not sure what the connection is exactly, but I don't cook much anymore. Sometimes I stress bake. That seems clearly connected.
Final dates for the school year for my FREE Q&As now posted! It's lots of fun for kids to meet the authors of books they are reading, and fun for me to meet my readers. Win-win. calendly.com/lieslshurtliff…
Filled out my March Madness bracket. Picked the highest-ranked teams with a few upsets. Closed my eyes and pointed at the screen to pick the winner. Final score is a combination of my lucky numbers. Feel free to copy my method. I have a good track record. #MarchMadness2024
Q: If you could be any character in RUMP, who would you be? Me: A troll. They’re the ultimate Zen masters. *the crowd goes wild.
Such a great school visit in Mobile, AL today!
This is me holding my friend John Schu’s beautiful brand new book. You should buy this book because it is brilliant and important. I’d love to see this book on next week’s best seller lists. Schu has helped so many books find so many readers. I hope we will help get his…
In honor of my new #mglit novel coming out June 11, I am giving away an ARC! Follow me and RT by 4pm PT on 3/22 to enter the drawing. In many ways, THE TENTH MISTAKE OF HANK HOOPERMAN, was inspired by childhood memories of my big brother. I can't wait to share it with you. 💙
I found this conversation with Dr. Ellen Langer on mind-body connection to be refreshing and creatively invigorating. Our thoughts are so powerful! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
Teen son left the house without doing his chores. His sister texted him to warn him of my wrath. "Guess I better sleep with one eye open tonight,” he said. I laughed. "That's so cute he thinks he's going to sleep!" #norestforthewicked
I told my husband that there are people in this world who actually believe in fairies. He looked at me like I was nuts, so I guess today is not the day to tell him that I'm one of those people.

I just offered to help someone with their taxes, and that is by far the BIGGEST procrastination move I've made yet. Taxes?! Do I even like writing at all?! 🤦♀️ #amwriting #procrastination
Does anyone feel they have become more introverted as they've aged? I used to think I was an extrovert, but now I can barely stand to leave my house. Wait...maybe I'm an agoraphobe...

I am never so productive as when I am procrastinating my writing. As soon as I start doing the dishes, I know I'm in avoidance. Folding laundry is a serious cry for help.
The biggest mistake a writer can make is...not writing. 🤯
Many thanks to the @NMDLibrary and @LieslShurtliff for a great award ceremony this evening! @MelzerMLions absolutely love our plaque and we are excited to start reading for next year’s Battles!
Like so many other authors, I was recently disinvited from a school. They cited “recent events” and “the content of my book”—which is the Kindertransport and WWII spies. This is what I think is really going on here: jewishbookcouncil.org/pb-daily/its-b…
The birds were singing this morning. 6y/o: They're just bragging. Me: Bragging about what? 6 y/o: That they're birds. Me: That is something to brag about. 6y/o: No it's not. You shouldn't brag!
