Hah--marketing words: "beloved author." When they start calling you "beloved," you know you're old.🙃

Re last tweet: 40 yrs ago score was: Novels Written 4; Novels Published 0. How did I get so lucky? There are thousands of good, publication-worthy writers out there. I know. I've met them.

"Masterpiece!" Unputdownable!" "Unforgettable!" "Award-worthy!" Reviewers' words for DEAD WEDNESDAY, out in August. My mother would want me to add these recents: "King of storytellers" "writer for the ages" "national treasure." Just hoping readers agree.

@JerrySpinelli1 Maniac Magee was my favorite book as a kid (and I grew up not too far from Norristown). Now, I'm a teacher! Would you consider gifting an item for my class or retweeting my list?#clearthelist amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3K…

Highlights Foundation writers workshops in PA Poconos. Join instruction/critique group. Or alone in your cabin, emerging only for great meals. Meadows. Woods. Milky Way! Can you say "writer's paradise"?

Can't promise a new book (LOVE, STARGIRL is already out there), but there will be a movie: Disney streaming probably late 2019.

Back from visiting STARGIRL film set in Albuquerque, NM. Met Grace VanderWaal (Stargirl), Graham Verchere (Leo) and rest of wonderful cast. Julia Hart directs. Look for it on Disney's new streaming platform, hopefully next year.
