Just received a message from a parent saying her son, who suffers from very low self esteem, fell in love with my book, which he discovered as part of a school reading challenge. Big shout out all schools and libraries running reading challenges. They are JUST SO IMPORTANT.

Well. This is it.

Tomorrow, #AKindOfSpark is on television.

I don't know what to say. All feelings were drained out of me at the premiere.

Just very proud of the cast. Especially our young cast. ND, LGBTQ and some of them acting for the first time.

This is your time.
