This beautiful post by reader Asia Faith is why I write.

This beautiful post by reader Asia Faith is why I write. Books change lives. They can support us, encourage us, help us to feel seen and understood, help us survive. They did for me, growing up (and still do) and I am so grateful that my books do that now for others. Thank you Asia!

Snuggles with sweet Petal and reading a good book – two of my favourite things to do!

I hope you’ve got a good book to read and someone to cuddle, too.

One of my favorite things that I received for my birthday

One of my favorite things that I received for my birthday is this gorgeous happy flying pig print that my dear friend Julie Schoerke got me from rainbowofcrazy on Etsy. It makes me feel happy just to look at. I love flying pigs. Love the idea of doing the impossible in a joyful, triumphant way.

And another of my favorite things from my birthday is also in this picture. It’s a sparkly stuffed unicorn with all my favorite colors: purple, turquoise, and pink, that Jean, who is like a mom to me and who I dedicate every book to, gave me.

It is such a lovely thing to have someone know you so well and care about what makes you happy, and also to have tangible reminders around of the people I love who love me. The people who are my chosen family. I am so grateful for each of the people and animals that are so deeply connected to me….
