Enjoy this incredibly fun LIVE podcast from the 80th annual National Cartoonists Society Reuben Awards. I was thrilled to be on a panel with creators Dee Fish and Jamar Nicholas. Learned so much, too. (Fun fact: I had about an hour of sleep in me when this was recorded. Not bad for a loopy cartoonist.)
Recently, I was on Comics Kingdom’s “Inside the Kingdom” podcast with Alex Garcia, who is one of the BEST podcast hosts I’ve had the pleasure to speak with. Comics Kingdom runs my award-winning, now-retired syndicated comic strip, The Pajama Diaries. The strip is in reruns these days, and still very fun to read online. Alex interviews me about the strip as well as Emmie & Friends and my cartooning background. It’s a really fun, engaging interview, and I hope you’ll check it out.
You can watch the entire podcast HERE.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be a guest author at the upcoming Sydney Writers’ Festival May19-27 in Sydney, Australia.
I’ll be speaking to students during the week and signing copies of my upcoming book, Entirely Emmie. There will also be a ticketed public event on Sunday, May 25. Details here.
If you live in or around Sydney, come say hello! So excited to meet young readers and families as well as explore this beautiful city.
(And yes, I plan on picking up a cool accent.)
Always love chatting with Zibby Owens on her prolific podcast, and this time I had the pleasure of joining funny and talented Alan Silberberg (double the fun). We discussed THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS, the awesome recent middle grade Hanukkah anthology we were honored to be a part of.
You can find the episode on Apple Podcasts (as well as on Spotify and Acast!) here.

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Barbara Bietz of the truly wonderful website/blog, Jewish Books for Kids. As a Jewish author, this was a meaningful one for me. As you may or may not know, Leah, one of the main characters in ALWAYS ANTHONY, is Jewish and sometimes discusses her family traditions. There is also an important lesson in the book focusing on “teshuvah” (Hebrew for “repentance” and “return”), which is central to the story’s theme of bullying and forgiveness. The interview doesn’t just focus on Leah’s background — it discusses so much more. I hope you enjoy!

I’m so excited to be participating in the all new JewCE (Jewish Comics Experience) convention in NYC on November 12, 2023 at the Center for Jewish History. This event celebrates Jewish comics of all types and features a big exhibit.
I’m also thrilled to be nominated for Artist Honoree of the Year — woo! The line-up of guests and nominees is pretty spectacular, so I’m very excited to schmooze among them as well as participate in a kids’ panel (below).

SO thrilled to be on this insanely fun and insightful podcast hosted by the hugely popular author, Marissa Meyer (one of my daughters is a big fan, so we’re very familiar with her books).
I hope you’ll take a listen to my episode on The Happy Writer Podcast — we had such a great time. And be sure to catch her other guests. I’ve listened to many authors’ episodes and learned a lot (and had fun doing it).
Recently, I traveled to Israel as part of PJ Library’s WONDERFUL Author Israel Adventure. During my trip to Jerusalem, I was interviewed by Shai Cohen, a sweet and very professional budding young journalist (and reader!) for a national Israeli news show. I couldn’t access the YouTube link for the interview, but you can view it on my Israeli publisher’s (Kinneret) Instagram page, here. Enjoy!
On April 18 at 7 pm ET, I’ll be part of a great virtual panel of graphic novelists for the Ohioana Book Festival, partnering with SCBWI. I hope you’ll join us! Registration is free and you don’t have to be a member of SCBWI.
