Children's author, writes about ordinary people (often women) doing extraordinary things. My obsession? finishing things; books yes but also shampoo, ketchup...

34 years ago today, deep in the Southern Ocean all of us on Maiden listened to the @bbcworldservice to news of the #BerlinWall coming down. We wondered what the crew on the Russian yacht Fasizi would be thinking. The real world seemed so far away @maidenfactor

I ADORE this concept, and will try to carry on this tradition! Now, to get writing, so I can eventually query again!

I wholeheartedly endorse the concept of rejection cupcakes. And, as someone who got 126 rejections before my first sale, I say: “Onward! Success is nigh!”

@LoriJAlexander @DanielDuncan @ClarionBooks Congratulations Lori!

Also LOVED jackgilbert poem mentioned in New Yorker article: "we must have/the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless/furnace of this world. To make injustice the only/measure of our attention is to praise the Devil"

40 minutes online chat with @gobrightspeed to get my landline (that they cut back in March) finally buried so we don't accidentally cut it again. They insist someone be home, but scheduled it on a day we're out of town with no option to reschedule!!🤪🤯

[Deb Aronson @debaronson]

Groups like @KWSKenya do so much good work. It warms my heart.

[Kenya Wildlife Service @KWSKenya]

Meet Willy, a brave little rhino with a big story, orphaned at 5 months after the death of his mother at Meru National Park. Named after his caregiver Warden Willy Adulo. Willy's journey tugs at our hearts as we approach #worldrhinoday.

Talking with my tennis buddies this morning about board games inspired me to post this review of Erin Entrada Kelly's novel "You Go First" https://t.co/o9Zl0bOtVM

[Deb Aronson @debaronson]

In honor of Pet Memorial Day (last Sunday) I have buried the ashes of both of my cats under these lovely cat-shaped stepping stones. Also, our phones keep playing slide shows of all the pictures we've taken of them over the years...which is A LOT!! I love it!

oh, I loved this book. I just left it lying around in my house and my kids could pick it up and leaf through it...Such a reassuring message, too.
