What is sleep and why are humans* so bad at it? Will I ever sleep through the night again? These are the questions haunting my dreams (haha see what I did there? If only I were actually sleeping when I was having these Profound Thoughts™️)

Anyway, hi, hello, Happy Monday. I am already two weeks behind yet only 10 hours into this week. What is math? Never mind, that’s a question for another night. 😴

Sunny crisp autumn day. Apple cider & lunch after a trip to @61market. Perfect start to the weekend.

Farmers markets are my faves & I look for them wherever I go for whatever delicious treats are in season. I’ve had incredible local figs in Napa, gorgeous strawberries in Provence, fresh coconut and rambutan in Hanalei, radishes grown in Chicago, gorgeous apricots in New York. Maple syrup candy in Quebec. So much amazing cheese from Paris and Barcelona markets. Truly, meeting the farmers who grow your food is a joy.

What’s your favorite farmer’s market?

One thing I’ve loved in books, ever since I was a kid, was maps. I was amazed at how maps could help you see the world of the story. How the maps helped me unearth treasures from the book I was reading. And with Amira & Hamza, I finally have a map in my own book! Thanks to the truly incredible work of @tanaudel!! It’s truly so gorgeous and has so many fantastic & fantastical details from the book. Perhaps what I love most is that a Kathleen connected the intertwined realms of Qaf on an astrolabe-esque design, which touches on a major astronomy theme in the book. Absolutely stunning!

When I was a little girl, there was a small lilac grove at my house that I swore was a magical portal to fantastical worlds. I would enter it a regular kid and exit a sword wielding fairy who battled evil jinn. It’s a tale I wanted to read & live in but could never find on shelves.

So I wrote a story for that little kid and all the kids like her.

AMIRA & HAMZA: THE WAR TO SAVE THE WORLDS is on shelves today & I hope you’ll love this story of bickering siblings & medieval Islamic astronomy & shapeshifting creatures of fire as much as I do.

On sale everywhere books are sold (link in bio). Signed copies available at @booksofwonder @wcfbook @57thstreetbooks.
