A new book doesn't happen too often, so I'm super excited for next week's launch of WOODY'S WORDS!

If you loved #WhereTheRedFernGrows, I think you'll love Woody's life story. Join me @ Wellesley Books, request an ARC on Edelweiss, reread the classic novel, hug a hound!

I was picking up my own library holds and saw that somebody had put a hold on a #pbbio I wrote, Mountain Chef. It's not quite spying someone in an airport reading my book but it felt close.

I loved the Chagall vibes of the art in Breaking through the Clouds: The Sometimes Turbulent Life of Meteorologist Joanne Simpson.

Illustration shows woman in a maroon graduation gown, diploma in her hand, floating blissfully among the clouds with birds swooping around her (one bird holding her mortar board in its beak). Below this fanciful image we see grass, trees, and a college campus.
