The name of this picture is "Cat with Dragon and Tissue Box." (I am posting this without the cat's permission.)

I'm not crazy about all that comes with getting older, but one thing that does give me joy is becoming a "two-generation" author. Here's a lovely photo of a young reader taking delight in his dad's collection of a batch of my books. #kidlit #youngreaders

These two picture of the White House before and after Trump can be taken as a metaphor for the USA itself . . . #Trump #TheWhiteHouse

The story of my writing life in one image . . .

And let me tell you, singing a duet with Peter S. Beagle, even in an empty restaurant, was an apex life experience for me!

It's official . . . and we have an artist that I am very excited about!

This one speaks to me . . .

#unicorns #picturebooks SARAH'S UNICORN was published in b&w in 1979. Last year Kathy redid the illustrations in color and they are gorgeous! The book releases in April at $12.99 for the pb and $19.99 for hardcover. Presale prices are $8.99 pb $12.99 hc! Order at my website - link on next rock.

Last night I found out that I'm a clue in today's NYTimes Crossword puzzle. Though I have some serious issue with the Times, this is a life goal I didn't even know I had and I am still vibrating about it!

#bookfairs If you're in the Minnesota area, this looks like it's going to be a lot of fun! They have a stellar list of authors lined up (I'm honored to be included) and they're planning to celebrate the Book Fairs of the 90's.

This was on the screen in front of my seat on my flight home from a speaking gig in Oklahoma last night. I can't decide if it's cool or if it's creepy. A little bit of each, I guess. Note: This was not in a high price seat. I was in coach.

Got something cool coming up. Here's a hint . . . #kidlit #unicorns

Got my sign, ready to march!

#kittens It's amazing how this little guy can flop down and look almost angelic after hours of being a holy terror!

#Kidlit #picturebook Here is a happy announcement about a Nyxie-inspired picture book that I sold a while ago. The artist has a great sense of humor and I can't wait to see what she does with this! Notice that it was acquired by the amazing Lawrence Schimel

I realized the other day that if you are a cat family, there are actually very few times that you have kittens in the house. When it is time to get new kittens, I think it's important to look for ones that like books . . . #books #cats

Watching this happening next door this afternoon, I came to the conclusion that this is number one on my current "Jobs I Don't Want!" list . . .

#congress #mikejohnson I think it's safe to say that Mike Johnson's reading of the Bible only got as far as Leviticus. He certainly never got to the part that says this:

I really do have the coolest fans. Here is a full sleeve my awesome fan Danielle Taylor got to celebrate her love of the Unicorn Chronicles. The artists: Johnny Andres did the lower half, and Melise Hill did the top half instagram.com/johnn… instagram.com/melis���

It's release day for the re-jacketed edition of THE DRAGONSLAYERS! Originally wrote this in 1980 as a musical for my 4th graders. Turned it into a novel in 1994 and it's been in print ever since. I love this new look - cover is so funny and fresh I smile every time I look at it! #booksky

A friend had to move to smaller quarters, so I brought this handsome boy to the house I use as my office. He hid in the basement for 2 months, but finally got over that. Now he has colonized my desk - officially a Writer's Cat, with all the privileges and responsibilities entailed therein.

The expression on Canadian PM Carney's face while listening to Trump spew nonsense is the funniest thing I've seen in politics this year.

Spring has sprung and this is my driveway yesterday - basically nature having sex all over my backyard!

So here's something cool. This May S&S is putting a new cover on my book THE DRAGONSLAYERS, which has been continuously in print for 30 years now. I'm delighted by it! #KidLit #BookSky #Dragons

MERRY CHRISTMAS, you lot! Hope those of you who celebrate are having a fabulous day. (I also hope that those of you who DON'T celebrate are having a fabulous day!) We didn't have a pageant, but here's a picture of my cat pretending to be baby Jesus in the manger . . .
