After reading Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor, I was inspired, so I just took steps to donate my brain for research when I die. Science needs us. All of us. You can donate too at bit.ly/2yVaMiB via @braindonorproj

As much as I like my books to stay nice and shiny and unharmed, I can’t help but be happy when they make the rounds and become “well-loved.” 😁

Preorders of Valor Wings (releases Sept 17) will get a super cute hand-crafted origami dragon bookmark! Just slip him onto the corner of the page when you’re done reading and he’ll keep the book warm for you while you’re away.
