Another school year, another reminder that I'd love to visit your schools. Looking particularly at you, my alma maters: Wayne Thomas School, Northwood Middle School, Highland Park H.S. #amwriting #kidlit #mglit

Happy #Caturday. Here’s Mister Tony being cute.

Today, I was a Ren Faerie!

Actual conversation with my parents, while watching "The Thursday Murder Club." Me: Oh! That's David Tennant! Dad: Who? Me: Exactly! #ThursdayMurderClub #DoctorWho

Grateful to my family at PlayGround-Chicago for their shout-out to my work on WINTER'S END with Wild Imaginings in Waco in this month's "Company in the News" newsletter. Read it here: playground-ch.org/company-in-the…

Once a year, on 9/11, I take some time out of my day to listen through to the soundtrack of COME FROM AWAY. It's a heart-warming reminder of the goodness and kindness that existed in the world back on that Tuesday. And that I hope still exists today. youtube.com/watch?v=9LCf42…

I do wonder how James Gunn managed to convince Michael Rooker to play Wile E. Coyote in this season of #Peacemaker...

Received a delightful blast from the past, in the form of a picture from the debut of my play, THE CLUMSY PRINCESS, at the East Valley Children's theatre. Really looking forward to returning there in February when they produce THE SECRET MEDUSA. #amwriting #theatre #greekmyth

Had an amazing time at The Twenty-Sided Tavern at Broadway in Chicago. I wish all my D&D sessions were this bonkers! #TTRPGs

Okay, now this is very cool. I loved Schmigadoon. Excited to see it transfer over to the world of #theatre, which it so beautifully lampoons. ew.com/schmigadoon-is…

I have some new #ttrpg stickers I need to place, in honor of my “little Paladin that could…if only the dice were kind.”

Thrilled to announce that my short play, HOW THE BATES (ALMOST) STOLE CHRISTMAS is receiving an encore performance this year at PlayGround #theatre's annual "A Very Hitchcock Christmas." Tickets are free, either in-person or livestreaming. Learn more: playground-sf.org/hitchcockchris…

Did some fancy nails, in anticipation of an upcoming author presentation. #nailart

There's still time to register yourself or your kiddo for my FREE 10/7 creative writing event at the Morton Grove Public Library. Learn more on their website: mgpl.org/event/author-j…

The highlight of today: A rerun of THE GOLDEN GIRLS featuring Robert Picardo as a doctor. Obligated to tag Seán Ferrick🖖 is on Bsky over at TrekCulture, who was just talking about watching through the show for the first time.

I had such a wonderful time sharing my stories with the kids at the Morton Grove Public Library (@mgplib) yesterday. Thanks to Leslie Marley and Jessie Bond for making it happen. I hope we inspired some budding authors! #libraries #amwriting #WillYouBeSuperlative

Forgot to post this one! Spied THE LOST THINGS CLUB at the @mgplib. #amwriting #kidlit #mglit
