@jenlowrywrites @iamlisafox10800 #BooksinBloom This is what happens when you ask readers to rip pages out of your book! Love the art that was created today!

Got some summer book mail! Can’t wait to read Free Sings the Sea by @stac_bar!

I love inviting authors into my classroom! Got to chat via zoom with the amazing @Carolbaldwin121 about her book, Half-Truths!

Invite authors into the classroom! It was amazing to see the kids learn about #historicalfiction and creative writing!

My kid made “swamp soup” which is a delicacy found in my middle grades book, The Swamp of Doom! Anyone care to have some of this… concoction? I recommend buying the book instead. 🤣 ⁦@PressMonarch⁩

Finally posting photos from my Barnes & Noble book signing! It’s been a long journey to here, one impossible word at a time. To see Disconnected and Swamp of Doom on that table + a forever memory moment! https://t.co/7Q12z41Zwk @jenlowrywrites @BNBuzz

Cover Reveal!
I wrote this book with my kids’ input. It’s been a joy to combine SciFi, gothic elements, a swamp, & comedy together in a single adventure that reminds readers that we are all SO MUCH more than our bad days… @PressMonarch #readingcommunity #middlegrade #adventure

[Riley Cross Author of Disconnected & Swamp of Doom @WritingbyRiley]

Ummm… obsessed. Anyone else love an embossed book? #WritingCommunity

Guess. Who. Is. Going. To. A. Book. Fair!!

Happy Book Birthday & it is #5 on Amazon for Children’s Arthurian Myths!

*A very unlucky protagonist whose friends are there to help the quest!

*Gothic/SciFi/humor elements!

*A reminder that we are ALL so much more than our bad days!
