I write books, like the "ONE & ONLY" series, WISHTREE, ODDER, DOGTOWN, and POCKET BEAR. My new novel, WOMBAT WAITING, is out now! I post with some help from Two Cats Comm.

Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar?

@kaaauthor.bsky.socialWombat's a stray, but I also call her a destiny dog. A destiny dog's a little different from a rescue. They're looking for their person, determined to find them.
You know the dogs that end up on your front stoop or follow your kids home from school?
That's a destiny dog. 🧡🐕
