Had an awesome visit at Benson High school yesterday! The students had such great questions and I was so happy to share copies of Control thanks to @waacvisits! Thank you also to Angela Ralph, Benson’s wonderful librarian for helping to make this happen ❤️

Also, the llama is perfection. Hello llama. 🦙📚

Look who came to visit me today! We think it’s a juvenile Cooper’s hawk. So beautiful!

Tis the season to remind you that I have all sorts

Tis the season to remind you that I have all sorts of October-y, Halloween-y, witchy, weird, books for autumn! What better way to showcase them than with the random gourds that I grew from my garden, and my dogs, who can’t seem to escape being in my photo shoots!

In no particular order, we have:

Quackery, for a weird history of things like opium and cannibalism and leeches and bloodletting and arsenic and goat testicle transplants! No, I do not use this many conjunctions conjunctions in my sentences in the book. I swear.

The November Girl, winner of the Nebraska Book Award, about a dangerous witchy girl who is hiding on an island, only to find a boy escaping the danger in his own life.

A Beautiful Poison, my first historical novel about a group of young folks trying to make something of their lies and lives in the midst of World War I and the influenza of pandemic.

The Impossible Girl, a story inspired by the horrors of grave robbing set in 1850, and a young woman who hides her identity for the sake of survival.

And last, but not least, Opium and Absinthe, set in NYC 1899 during the newsboys strike, the same year that Bram Stoker’s Dracula was released in the United States, and surrounds a young woman who must solve the mystery of her sister’s murder—an apparent victim of a vampire.

hope you find some cozy October evenings to read! ☕️🫖🧋🍵📚📖📕📗📘📙

I recently spoke to Jordan Friedman and @smithsonianmagazine about the origins of the term “snake oil” along with its never-ending allure. Link in my bio!

Had such a great time at the @neblibraries annual

Had such a great time at the @neblibraries annual meeting with the awesome librarians from across the state of Nebraska! I got to hang out with so many wonderful people, met (and re-met) some big Star Wars fans (who told me definitely that the Venn diagram of librarians and Star Wars fans is basically a circle within a circle 😆😘), sold a bunch of books, and finished with a keynote address talking about the ups and downs of publishing.

Loved taking this photo with some of the many librarians there. Librarians rock. I hope you all know that!

Also, notice I’m very happy to be holding this @acluofne poster against censorship!

It’s a 2.5 hour drive to Kearney and so I had to stop for a Runza, as one occasionally does as a Nebraskan. Plus, I got to hang out with this enormous flock of starlings which was a little otherworldly!

Didn’t realize how witchy this selfie was, but it fit with the day. Went to @lauritzengardens to see the Wicked Plants display inspired by @amystewart’s gorgeous book! It was cool to see so many plants I’ve both read and written about but never met in person. Nice to meet you! Let’s NOT shake hands, though I respect you!

Outside, the gardens were beautiful. Love the Victorian garden and seeing the @junkanekostudio Dangos (Japanese for “dumpling”) and an enormous bunny sculpture I adore.
