This whole set up!!!! We would have gone with OcTEAvia from @calabashtea....and we love this!

Check out Octavia’s Brood at you local #library or at https://sistahscifi.com/products/octavias_brood | www.sistahscifi.com | @sistahscifi.

Reposted @the.smashbot.diaries Drinking some Blood Moon @evilteacompany and reading OCTAVIA'S BROOD: SCIENCE FICTION STORIES FROM SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENTS which is a collection of short stories edited by @adriennemareebrown and @walidahimarisha. These speculative fiction stories are inspired by Octavia Butler who is one of my favorite authors!

Really enjoying these stories so far and continuously awed by the spark that OB brought to the world through her writing and how many other storytellers have been inspired by her.

Thankful for quiet, relaxation, books and tea at the moment.🍁

Hope everyone celebrating a long weekend is having a good time and happy Friday otherwise!

I’d be grateful if you’d send some luck my way! #womenwriters #specualtivefiction #amsubmitting #shortstory #writerslife https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3MsAzgQMD/?igshid=q42n7xakcmtf

This is a kind of wolf that roams the northern steppes, occupying a role much like our spotted hyenas . . #wolf #canid #wolfanatomy #wolfdesign #creaturedesign #sketch #sketchbook #artistsoninstagram #inkedlines #inked #drawing #art #anatomy #speculativeevolution #specualtivefiction

Cybils Awards 2019

I served as a Cybils Awards round one judge for the second time this year! In 2018 I served on the Easy Reader/Early Chapter Book committee and this year I served on the Elementary/Middle Grade Speculative Fiction committee. It turns out middle grade novels are WAY LONGER than easy readers! Of course, I knew that going in! It was a pleasure to work with amazing bloggers putting together a list of…
