The auction starts TODAY! Here's a quick thread of the items I donated (that are visible right now...) The peacock garden, of course! Quoted thread also has a bit about how I made it. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Have to shout out the fact that @abookbumble.bsky.social has two of her wonderful books in the auction! #booksky www.32auctions.com/organization...

Jane Yolen passed away this morning and I am in deep mourning. I had the great privilige of being friends with her for over four decades. We laughed together, did panels together, edited each other, and eventually wrote a book together. She was my editor for several books . . . 1/2

If you're headed to #BookCon this coming weekend, come by the Indie Alley and say hello! I'm Booth E-8 and I'll be there both days.

I missed a few days of #ArtAdventCalendar, so an extra for today! Here's a galaxy whale shark, made with polymer clay with hand painted eyes, spots, and stars.

My beautiful friend made this gorgeous post featuring my books, and I can’t think of a better way to announce that FAMILIAR TERRITORY is now available to readers!

It's red panda day! A friend saw the feral fairies and asked if I could make a red panda. I immediately saw it in my mind, so it had to happen. #bsnm 🧶 The red pandas have joined the other feral fairies in Whimsy Station! whimsystation.com/collections/...
