Friday Feedback was hopping this summer with my participation in Kate Messner's Teachers Write! program.**

Alas, fall is here, and we are all back to our busy school-year lives, so it's time for the feature to go off on a little hibernation. Having said that, if you are itching for some feedback, feel free to stop by any old FF post -- like, say, this one where I profess my Stupid Love for Geoff Herbach -- and I'll be there to help you, even if the post is outdated. :)

Instead, after October, which is another busy month, I plan to bring back my The Pull of Gravity Goes to School(s) feature, which is always a lot of fun for me! I mean, what is better than the opportunity for a YA author to connect directly with YA's?


This is Cindy. She's an awesome teacher.
No kidding!Speaking of which, this past Tuesday, I spent a day at the Upper Dauphin Area High School in Elizabethville, Pennsylvania. It was tons of fun and exhausting! As always, a full day in a classroom setting makes me marvel anew at how teachers actually do that! Will highlight the visit in the first return to the ... Goes to School(s) feature in November.


In the meantime, teacher extraordinaire, Cindy Minnich, and I do a little recap here on one of my favorite sites, The Nerdy Book Club.  Check it out! Hope you enjoy. :)




Other than that, there will be writing news, hopefully more movie news (!?!), and definitely more book news.

And, probably, some pointless silliness. Hope to see you here.

Happy fall!
