Can't tap dance, no good at poker, no musical talent, so what's left? I'm a recovering YA librarian having fun writing MG and YA books

I've been posting shamelessly about EDDIE WHATEVER, my new book. Well, this is the guy it's dedicated to, who got his vaccine today!

[Lois Ruby @LoisRubyWriter]

@kimbbbradley The good news is, Kimberly, when a book is challenged, even threatened with removal, it gets read more than ever! Rejoice!

Today! Pub Day for EDDIE WHATEVER!

[Lois Ruby @LoisRubyWriter]

This is one incredibly creative teacher's Jamboard for EDDIE WHATEVER. I am totally blown away!

Congratulations to the conscientious people at Carolrhoda/Lerner Books for the Boston Globe Horn Book 2021 honor award! The extraordinary book is Unspeakable; the Tulsa Race Massacre, by Carole Boston Weatherford, illustrated by Floyd Cooper.

@CarolrhodaLab @EmilyBarthIsler @JoshuaSLevy @MarciaMickelson @SolSantanaXY Wow, I'm so excited to see this and hear Amy describe these intriguing books, including mine, Eddie Whatever. Feel free to pre-order any time, people! School visits? Sure.

[Lois Ruby @LoisRubyWriter]

@CarolCHinz You are the champ! That's what I'd write on your cast.

[Lois Ruby @LoisRubyWriter]

Always delighted when someone mentions my book online, but this? "Steal Away Home Lois Ruby. As recognized, adventure as with ease as experience about lesson, amusement, as capably as deal can be gotten by." Wha??? ...

[Lois Ruby @LoisRubyWriter]

@Amy_Ariel_Fitz You have to read Amy's story, and when you do, look for the image she creates: "...a circle so large that it feels to you like a straight line." Beautiful.

@CarolCHinz Carol, I just found this thread because of your most recent tweet about getting vax'ed. So sorry you and your family have to go through this. Do well and come out on the other side stronger than ever.

[Lois Ruby @LoisRubyWriter]

@CarolrhodaLab @gdfalksen I just read the book. It's action-packed, thought-provoking, and features a fascinating female protag.

[Lois Ruby @LoisRubyWriter]

@MLSTMediaCenter @McCroreyListon @TeamFairfieldSC So glad your 6th graders are enjoying the book. Hope it spooks them out totally!

[Lois Ruby @LoisRubyWriter]

Looking forward to a virtual visit with 5th graders at Blanding Elem (Effingham, GA school district) on March 16. Thanks, Ms. Gililland! Anyone else want an author visit?

Just ordered THE SECRET LIFE OF KITTY GRANGER from https://t.co/2F6JQ6p1RY. It's out of stock now, but worth waiting for!
