Let's have a real conversation, not whatever this has become.

Stay brave.

Look at these terrific #PrideMonth displays from my local library! Very proud of @WVPLPA!

My middle grade novel ALAN COLE IS NOT A COWARD has been making the rounds on banned book lists.

If you run a GSA or other LGBTQ-positive school club in Texas, and you'd like your kids to talk to the gay author of a banned book, you can reach me here:

@sigmasoups One more thing! The cover artist for my books did a great job with Alan's appearance, but if you'd like to see a different artist's rendition of the gang, the Catalan edition of Not a Coward has lovely illustrations throughout: here's the gang at the Unstable Table.

@sigmasoups Also if you like my book(s) so much (which is always super awesome to hear, thank you so much!), I have a short story in the queer middle grade short story anthology This Is Our Rainbow, so that might be worth checking out!

[Eric Bell @IAmEricBell]

@puramuusz Working on it! 😅 In the meantime, check out the queer MG anthology This Is Our Rainbow if you want to see more of my work!

I am teaching an upcoming one night class through @HighlightsFound called Reading Like a Writer! We'll be discussing tips for getting the most out of your reading, as well as ways to stay on top of reading (and to not beat yourself up when you don't). Hope to see you there!

@EssentialCoco @HighlightsFound Hi Nicole! Sorry you weren't able to take the class. I'd love to teach it again in the future, probably through Highlights, and while nothing is guaranteed, I'd say keep your eyes peeled! Thanks for your interest 🙂

Hey guess what everyone I am officially announcing my representation by @ChristaHeschke and @DanieleDHunter! I know, right? Pretty exciting! I'm excited, they're excited, you're excited too. I can feel it.

Looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership!
