Singer-Songwriter @kateschutt (featured in Music Mavens) wrote a beautiful piece about Tina Turner's influence on her as a musician and performer. Read it. Your love and respect for #TINA will skyrocket.
Thanks, Kate.

Lots of exciting book festivals this week/weekend. I even got to participate in one of them (looking at you, @Ohioana!) But the highlight of all the events this past week was client and friend @LMillerLachmann winning the L.A. Times Book Prize for Young Adult. Congratulations!!

Happy National Library Week!!! 🤩🤩🤩 I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for libraries and librarians. You gave me hope when I was a kid. You gave me kindness when I was alone. You give me strength every day. I love you, I’m with you, and I celebrate you!!! ❤️📚🙌

Congratulations @NOVAWAV on your Grammy for "Cuff It"! I'm thrilled for you both and so honored to have written the story of those two country girls - @blu_june and @chi_coney - in MUSIC MAVENS. You are inspiring the next generation.
We are now GRAMMY AWARD WINNING Nova Wav!!!!
We met in 2009, two country girls who grew up in smalls towns with big dreams and huge hearts!
GOD is at the center of it all!
We did it Joe! 🏆🏆 @Beyonce @parkwood #CuffIt BEST R&B SONG

So exciting to see Music Mavens reviewed by Mary Quattlebaum alongside @suma_v_s beautiful picture book In Washington Parent Magazine. Like Mary, I highly recommend Namaste Is A Greeting.

Spent my 8-hour roundtrip Thanksgiving drive listening to @SkylerSchrempp's beautiful middle grade historical novel, Three Strike Summer, and it's all home runs: voice, plot, pacing, setting, characterization. The bonus: Skyler's Audible narration is pitch perfect. Wowza!

From author-filmmaker Ellen Snortland's column: "'Music Mavens' is a tribute to creating possibilities for people....Giving 'Music Mavens' to your musically inclined young friends as a gift has the potential to change their lives…& yours." bit.ly/3ABW28V @ChiReviewPress

Had so much fun last night reading and celebrating alongside these stellar authors / @VCFAWCYA alumni. Your books are all so lovely.

When your publisher sends out an email blast and positions your purple book about music creatives directly above a book about The Purple One and one of your Music Mavens is none other than producer @SylviaMassy. Oh, my heart! #MusicMavens
