Ah, November. The utter hell of elections is behind us – Can you say “swing state?” – so now we can turn our thoughts to Turkey Day, apple pie and stretchy pants.
That’s my plan, just as soon as I wrap up the last appearance for the 2018 Merci Suarez Changes Gears book tour at NCTE next week. (Post coming Monday with the nitty gritty details.)
But for now, here are a couple of things I’ve been meaning to post.
First, a podcast: Don’t sweat it if Merci still on your TBR pile, friends. Mine is sky high, too. One option is to click over to Candlewick Press Presents on i-tunes, where they have a terrific library of their authors talking. (It’s a teacher’s dream spot!) We covered a lot of ground in 43 minutes – Merci and everything else you might want to know about my writing. I hope you’ll enjoy. [wpvideo lVVY0C90]
Second, just a random collection of photographs from the road. There are so many moments that slipped by without an image, which seems impossible considering how we’re all attached to our phones. But here are a few. I’m so grateful for all the kids, teachers, families, and fellow writers that I meet along the way. Are some of your favorites here?

Glad to know. I read and reviewed your book weeks ago. Love it! It’s a winner! Will go back and share the interview!
