@anniefox.comAnd in case you missed it, here is part 1
@anniefox.comMy dear friend Leeta Simtar’s home planet of Fure is dry, rocky, and reddish hues. So when Leeta visited recently, I decided to bring her to a lush, colorful farmer’s market!
@anniefox.comReal friends are the only kind worth having. But how can you tell if those are the kind you've got? Ask yourself these questions to help you find out.

@anniefox.comThis painting is inspired by this passage in The Little Things That Kill- "We rocket through the portal and enter a sea of stars from distant galaxies. Up ahead a towering cloud, gorgeous and terrifying, drifts in space like a cosmic ghost."
What does it look like to you? #booksky
@anniefox.comJust in time for Spooky Season. Fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and We Were Liars will love this paranormal mystery of a teen's untimely death that leads to more questions than answers. What's one of your favorite paranormal reads?

@anniefox.comIf you have school age kids or grandkids, how do you help them to be successful in school? I’m talking about self-confidence, social confidence, and academic progress.
@anniefox.comSetting your child up for a successful new school year goes beyond the classroom. There’s so many things we can do at home to make sure they’re productive and reflective. Here are some tips.
@anniefox.comKids start developing social connections in their pre-teen years. One of the questions we can ask to help them make good friend choices is by asking, “How do you define a good friend?” Luckily, kids have a good sense of right vs. wrong, so you’ll often get good responses, like these. #socialskills
@anniefox.comThe Natural World inspires the storyteller in me. Just imagine how many stories a thousand year-old tree contains! #booksky
@anniefox.comWhere are story ideas born? The spark for Leeta Simtar came from a question I asked myself: Why would someone have to leave home to find home?
Big thanks to Stephen Abramowitz for inviting me to his podcast Author-to-Author. What a great conversation!

@anniefox.comWhenever we talk back-to-school, it’s always about the academics. We never ask how they’re doing socially--what friends they have, how they navigate conflict.
Here are some ways to start that conversation with your kids.
@anniefox.comBack-to-school means back-to-friends. Teachers help kids build academic skills. Parents help kids improve social skills. Ask your child "What makes a good friend?" Help them understand that when you ARE a good friend you're more likely to HAVE good friends. #booksky
@anniefox.comCreative expression is a gift to yourself and others. When I need a break from my Writer's Mind, I express my creativity without words. Drawing, painting and/or photography. How do you express your creativity?

@anniefox.com“Some books entertain us. Others stay with us long after we turn the last page. The Little Things That Kill: A Teen Friendship Afterlife Apology Tour is one of those books.” Thank you Corrine Soares (IG: @cornsbooktherapy) for such a thoughtful review and for taking my story into your heart.
@anniefox.comAs kids learn to resolve conflicts with friends, we can help by listening respectfully to their concerns and encouraging them to think about their own behavior as well as the behavior of others.

@anniefox.comTwo of my passions--writing and baking--have so much in common! Here’s what you need for both. ;)
#booksky
@anniefox.comWhile every family’s different, some of the challenges remain the same! As kids grow into teens and gain more independence, questions from the adults who care can feel like a lack of trust. TALK (respectfully) about what you want. LISTEN with an open heart to what your teen has to say.
@anniefox.comThe first draft of my next novel is done and sent off to my editor!
#booksky
@anniefox.comThere is no one way to write a book. To be successful at writing, you need to find the system that works for YOU. I start with a theme or question. For others, it may be a character’s journey or a setting that sparks a story. To start, notice what makes you most excited and curious. #booksky
