@aprilhenrybooks THIS IS AMAZING. Thanks for sharing this, April!

[J.C. Geiger @jcgeiger]

@ButUCanCallMeZ Oh -- the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series. FOR SURE. But only with the original drippy b & w illustrations by Stephen Gammell which haunt my ever-loving dreams

[J.C. Geiger @jcgeiger]

@WildMelissaHart Ahhh you are too kind! That picture cracks me up. You were so supportive and scribbling like mad and laughing and taking pictures and all around the best person to possibly have in a workshop. Thank you for being there!

[J.C. Geiger @jcgeiger]

@aprilhenrybooks Cool!!!

OPB & the talented @jeradwalker just ran a piece on The Great Big Mixtape - really cool story, and thanks to @TheCollectionNC & David Wimbish for the interview! (My whole fam listened all gathered around a crackling AM radio & it was nostalgic magic for all involved.) 📻❤️

“The Great Big One,” a contender for this year's Oregon Book Award for Young Adult Literature, isn't an audio book... but it is a book that comes with audio. A companion mixtape brings the story to a cassette tape deck near you. By @jeradwalker: https://t.co/AJtLaShs6w

Two whole tweets in 3 weeks?!?! What can *POSSIBLY* be going on?? THE GREAT BIG ONE is a finalist for an OREGON BOOK AWARD!! It was an incredible, joyful, dance-party moment in this strange & wild world when we heard the news. Thanks to @literaryarts and congrats to all!

@timothyslane It blasted by in cold rush, like a prickling of the spine. But also I've been reading Stephen King's IT so that's pretty much every moment of my life right now.

Oh man. Almost 2:22 on 2/22/22 and the suspense is KILLING ME. Eastern time zones - please advise on suggested celebrations/precautionary measures

[J.C. Geiger @jcgeiger]

@brainbliss @timothyslane Hahahaha -- this was literally the first thing that popped into my brain in about 6 mo that was like "that feels like a TWEET." Everything else turns into a poem, a ramble, or "self-talk."

[J.C. Geiger @jcgeiger]

@Spanish_Broom @KidlitKat Definitely! Let me know if you're still looking for help - I've been here 15+ years and happy to do what I can to help make connections, etc

[J.C. Geiger @jcgeiger]

@timothyslane @brainbliss DANG! Beat me to it!

[J.C. Geiger @jcgeiger]

@aprilhenrybooks @PublishersWkly Thanks, April!!! They did such a great write-up! And wonderful to hear from you! Your lessons from workshops long ago still resonate in my daily practice :)

@yabookscentral is hosting a giveaway of #thegreatbigone! + my guest post which includes MTV's The Real World, a Dictaphone, and a trip to Musicland. Warning: You might get nostalgic whiplash. ((Really wanted to include "Babbage's" but it was a stretch.)) https://t.co/uWr024Q18h

@Booksmith Whoever picked A MANUAL FOR CLEANING WOMEN by Lucia Berlin is ON POINT. My copy is dog-eared and highlighted and barely clinging to life

[J.C. Geiger @jcgeiger]

@LittleWrighter @jhernandezbooks Ahhh that's the sweetest thing I've read in ages. Thank you so much, Holly. An author always dreams of their book finding someone at the perfect time. :)
