Love news like this. :)
I just found out from Mellisa Walker that Scars is on “Summer Reads” table at B&N in Park Slope, Brooklyn! How very, very cool! And this is 2 years after it was first pubbed! (Beaming)
That kind of news just makes my day. 🙂

- I saw this awesome bumper sticker on a truck in a parking lot today. It made me feel lighter, better, to randomly see a positive message out there. I think it’s true, and we need to keep fighting for rights and equality for all oppressed groups, including #LGBTQIA, PoC, disabilities of all kinds; an end to violence and rape, sexual assault and child abuse and torture – prevention, and full belief, support, and help for survivors when it does happen; better gun laws; and just…a kinder, more compassionate, living world, even when other people oppose us. Especially when they do. (Though it’s also important to practice self-care.) #BelieveSurvivors #MeToo #rapeculture #awesomebumpersticker #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist
- Petal has pancreatitis again – the vet says she gets flare ups because she had it once, and that it wasn’t anything I’m doing (I’m so careful with Petal’s food and safety, but I always worry I’ve done something wrong – that old abuse/trauma blame stuff). I get so worried and scared when Petal is sick, but she’s on digestive enzymes, and four other natural meds for digestion and pain. That’s $365 later! On top of that, she got a yeast infection on her feet from two rounds on antibiotics (we went to the vet about that last week), and she’s had trouble walking ever since her torn ACL operation and physio, and a bad reaction to cortisone cream. But she is almost always happy, and always sweet and loving. If you believe in positive thought or prayer, please send some her way. I love her so much. She is the sweetest, gentlest, most loving girl. #petalrainfield #chinesecrested #hairyhairless #dogstagram #ilovemydog #ilovemychinesecresteddog #servicedog #dogmom #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist
- I write because I had no voice growing up. I write because I didn’t see myself reflected – lesbian, feminist, rape & torture survivor – yet books helped save me. I write to help others know they are not alone & it can get better. I write to have a voice.#WhyIWrite #BelieveSurvivors #WeNeedDiverseBooks #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist #YAlit #YAbooks #bookstagram #lgbtqia
- I am wearing purple today for #spiritday. I will always support my #lgbtqia community and stand against homophobia and bullying.
