As we prepare for winter, we've been thinking about Janet Fox's Wintergarden, a lyrically hopeful story about a young girl who learns nurturing green-thumb lessons of growing an indoor herb garden from her patient mother told with Jasu Hu's stunning illustrations! #SELSpotlight
Among the books hitting shelves next week are @janetsfox’s picture book about keeping a garden alive, @SW_Messenger’s graphic novel tracing the friendship between two telepaths, @lychengwrites’s YA thriller about a deadly K-pop competition more pwne.ws/3QhaCK2
★ A “melodically described portrait of a window-sill herb garden,” @janetsfox and illustrator #JasuHu’s picture book WINTERGARDEN is a “story of tender care and nature’s contrasts” pwne.ws/3EHU88m
Elision is not a word that is often used in story crafting, but it should be. To elide is to omit, or to leave out. And we need to know as much about “leaving things out” of our stories as we do about the things we love to add. buff.ly/3XUW9XA | @janetsfox
As an author, parent, and former teacher I find this devastating and potentially destructive to the well-being of children who will now experience a deficit of reading material. This is not how a good society behaves.
More good news, this time about my client @BrookMerrow , whose first novel TRAPPED is out now!
Trapped, a coming-of-age mystery that touches on themes of identity and belonging, will keep you guessing to the end. #youngadult#writing

I can finally share!!!! Super fun news - my next middle grade novel. There are mysteries, puzzles, and dangers, with a whiff of ghosts and magic in the wilds of Montana. "Holes" meets the Hardy Boys meet Indiana Jones. @agentemurph@kav_tepedino@SimonKIDS
