A big thank you to the fabulous staff at Dartmouth Book Exchange for hosting World Read Aloud Day with an Atlantic Canadian Twist. They rock! Happy reading, everyone! @BookDartmouth #WordReadAloudDay2022
My husband: The Sopranos is amazing. You should watch it with me. It’ll give you some tips to improve your writing.
Me: But...but...I write middle-grade novels...you know, for kids.
The holidays and the art of Maud Lewis go together! 🎄❄⛄Click below to read another holiday book recommendation from me. My confession in the final paragraph might make you chuckle.😊 #GiftAtlantic#ReadAtlantic#MaudLewis
"The vibrant colours and playfulness of the Christmas and winter scenes will delight and awaken the child within." @HopeDalvay chooses Maud Lewis from our #GiftAtlantic collection #GiftArt@goose_lane https://t.co/tOwhac3aQG
"Lucky Strike remained, a peculiar piece of derelict scrap metal oddly preserved to define and unite us, demanding we set aside our desperation and hold out hope for the next big discovery that would save us."
Gorgeous essay by Tara Harris. https://t.co/DCc8SOcXR0
ICYMI: Here's a link to the virtual launch of my MG book "My Year as a SPACE Cadet." I must admit I liked the fact I could launch it from the comfort of home! A heartfelt thank you to the team @AcornPress

ICYMI: Here's my interview with Matt Rainnie. It's odd hearing my own voice. No one will ever say I sound like Lauren Bacall. 😉 @mattrainniecbc@AcornPress
Mainstreet PEI with Matt Rainnie - Aug. 11, 2021: Hope Dalvay's new book My Year as a Space Cadet https://t.co/TLOe77uEdz
Thank you, Matt, for putting this nervous author at ease and for asking such thoughtful questions! It was a fun interview! The interview will air today some time between 4 & 6 pm on CBC Mainstreet with Matt Rainnie😊 @mattrainniecbc@AcornPress
My Year as a SPACE Cadet is set in a scary world of the unknown. No, not space… but junior high. It’s the second book from #PEI writer @HopeDalvay with the launch tonight at 7 on the @AcornPress FB page. Hope joins us today on Mainstreet
The book launch for "My Year as a SPACE Cadet" is this evening (Aug. 11) at 7 pm (Atlantic) on The Acorn Press Facebook page. I've already received some hard-hitting questions from young readers: 🤔 Which of your 2 books is your fave? Is there a romantic storyline? @AcornPress
Some authors base their main character on themselves; others don't. I fall into the former category. 😊 Click link for similarities between Page Stuart (main character of my MG book "My Year as a SPACE Cadet") and me.

I have a rule: Don't base characters on real people. I sometimes break it, though. To find out the real-life inspirations in "My Year as a SPACE Cadet," click link. (1 was a prof at Acadia; the other, a teacher at Charlottetown Rural) #crhs#pei@AcadiaU

Thank you to the incredible staff @BookDartmouth (Dartmouth Book Exchange) for their wonderful support of Atlantic Canadian authors! It means so much. You are rockstars. 🤩 @AcornPress
When I was writing my latest middle-grade children's novel, "My Year as a SPACE Cadet," one scene proved particularly challenging. Click on the link to find out why. The accompanying gif will give you a clue.😉 https://t.co/I3ktw9OnRc
Confession: It took me 1 hour to make this 45s video. Why? I flubbed my lines 7 times & had to make a wardrobe change (yellow, not my color). My MG book “My Year as a SPACE Cadet” will be in Maritime bookstores & at online stores in the coming days & weeks. @AcornPress
I love Kate Elizabeth's artwork! Despite my irrational fear of mice, I follow her on Instagram (themousetowncollective_) just so I can find out the latest escapades of her adorable mouse characters as they tour Prince Edward Island. I wonder where they will pop up next. #pei
Thank you @abtmagazine for the lovely review of my book MY YEAR AS A SPACE CADET. It should be available in bookstores across the Maritimes in late July or early August. I can't wait!! @AcornPress @GenevieveLough2
