Can one young drummer save the music program that once saved him?

How Jackson Patterson Saved the Band by Maureen Straka is a heartfelt middle-grade story about courage, friendship, grief, and the power of working together.

A solid five-star recommendation!

The #Kobo Back to School promo ends tomorrow, so there is still time to grab my Arcanium Saga books for $4.99 or less each! Someone on BlueSky just called River of Crows "an absolute delight", and then said this. 😊

Happy New Year! I hope you're all having "an ice" start to the year!
An author and illustrator, I paint animals, dragons, and whatever else strikes my fancy, weaving magic into every day, and nurturing nature in the city. I like creating whimsical art for #PictureBooks, #ChapterBooks, #BoardBooks, #MiddleGrade #YA

I'm encountering the same scary thing in my current total rewrite of my work in progress: characters are being left on the cutting room floor. It's fine, I know it's going to be fine, because I've done this before.

Have you ever cut or been advised to cut characters? Did you do it? Why or why not?

I discovered that when I cut characters, it makes the other relationships so much clearer, but also more precious. I write #middlegrade, so I don't want to have a cast of thousands when my reader could be between 8 and 12 years old.

It's a glorious day that starts with a new Frances Hardinge book: UNRAVELLER. The way she world-builds is like few other authors I know: effortless, as if she doesn't much mind whether you know what's going on (although she makes sure you can figure it out.) It's fantasy & reminds me of NEVERMOOR, but it's #youngadult instead of #middlegrade. I'm in love again.
