In Georgia, there's a stray dog who has made it his job to protect this kindergarten class so they can cross the street safely. He shows up every single day, even barking at cars that don't stop

You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?

I just found the greatest thing.

This is a canary resuscitator.

When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.

By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.

Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!

SCOOBY DOOBY DOO, LILYPADS! It’s finally time to unveil the incredible illustrated cover of my #ScoobyDoo novel THE HEX GIRLS: A ROGUE THORN! I cannot believe there is official artwork of Scooby characters with my name attached.

I’m also so grateful and honored that my version of The Hex Girls—the same characters but as an all Black girl band like “a goth Destiny’s Child”—were depicted accurately. Warner Brothers and Get Underlined were so thoughtful and considerate to consult me to make sure I felt comfortable with how Thorn, Dusk, and Luna were represented on the cover.

My utmost thanks to Dario Brizuela for this breathtaking art and Marianna Smirnova for the amazing full jacket design of the hardcover (you won’t believe how much MORE beautiful the full jacket is)! The back cover might actually be my favorite part!

Now that we have this beautiful art to accompany my screaming, expect to hear a lot more from me about the book and the process of writing it leading up to the release on August 26th! Including a slate of fun summer events I hope to announce very soon.

But gang, first we need to split up: I’ve got to post this everywhere and you need to head to your favorite retailer to preorder the book! Anywhere is great, but I recommend my local independent bookstore Grit City Books, where you can request a signed copy by putting your personalization requests in the order notes.

For a full list of retailers and all the details about the book, check out the book’s page on my website: https://www.lilymeade.com/the-hex-girls-a-rogue-thorn

Indie Bookseller friends! Since Little Thieves won't be stocked in B&N this holiday season, I'd like to offset the hit to sales by offering hand-printed linocut prints for LT copies bought at/through indies. If you'd like your store to participate, please fill out this quick google form no later than November 5. (And interested readers, feel free to send this to your local indie bookstore to see if they'd like to join in!)

The full list of participating stores will go live in mid-November, including some that take and ship online orders, so even if you aren't near an indie bookstore, we'll have options!

everything you lose is a step you take.
