Great to see so many handwritten drafts at the British Museum Realms of Fantasy exhibition: Michael Palin’s notes for The Holy Grail, Ursula Le Guin’s Wizard of Earthsea, Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast, Neil Gaiman’s Coraline…

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. joebiden.com

I have published a series of diverse, all inclusive children’s books so ALL children can have positive, inspirational characters to look up to. These books show children how it looks when we look at one another how GOD looks at all of us. #DiversityandInclusion #Christianity

Wow, the response to this was a resounding YES! Kidlit HAHA Week will be April 1st - 5th, 2024 to celebrate both April Fool’s Day and the start of National Humor Month.

I’m always craving more writing kidlit humor content so I am teasing the idea of Kidlit HAHA Week — a week of daily blog posts dedicated to writing craft from various humor authors. What do you think #Kidlit, yay or nay?

No, David x Pig the Pug The problem with pickles is Max likes them too much. When one blunder leads to a chain of crazy mishaps, Max is on the run. But he can’t run far in a store. In this fast-paced rhyming story, Max learns everyone makes mistakes and love forgives. #PBPitch

It’s the Jazz age and shy Edith lives in a world where magic, like everything else, is prohibited. Living in a carnival, reading tarot to steal coins, her life is suddenly upended when she learns SHE IS magic. When the pirates arrive, she has to find a new home. #pitmad #MG #AD

As if there wasn’t enough failure of this woeful govt. & Boris, is this why we didn’t get enough tests? Britain has been secretly flying tens of thousands of coronavirus tests to America as it struggles to lift the daily testing rate over 100,000 a day in the UK! #BorisHasFailed

Llama Lu, as everyone in the Sanctuary like to call her, was born with no wool. How can a llama have no wool? A bit of chaos, goodwill, and being bad at math may be just what the animals need to figure things out. #PBPitch

Sometimes Daddy stubs his toe. Usually he says, “oh no!” Today hesaid a brand-new word, After that,this is what I heard: “Don’t say crap, the word is bad. Don’t say crap, or I’ll be mad.” I won’t say “crap.” For real! I smile at him, “Dad, it’s a deal!” Crap! #PbPitch #A

Breaking into the teachers’ lounge, confronting the class giant, finding stolen necklaces and catching the culprit. This is just a day in the life of Patch the Playground Private Eye. CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS x HARDBOILED DETECTIVE. #pitmad #MG

ZODIAC + CSI Childhood abuse, sexual deviancy, or grandiosity—these things generally drive serial killers. Me? I just want to disprove the ridiculous fallacy that is justice by defeating the largest police force in the US, the NYPD, and become a criminal legend. #PitMad #A #T
