This is one of my favorite guest posts, from April of 2023 in School Library Journal. Instead of the usual guest post stuff, I wrote a poem called "The Ballad of Book Number Nine" about what was going on in my head as the publication date for BETRAYAL BY THE BOOK approached. I was really proud of it and read it to all of my friends, but the SLJ post came and went without a single person commenting on it. So, when I wrote book number ten, SEARCH FOR THE SUNKEN STATUE, I decided to include it as part of the acknowledgements. A Goodreads reviewer pointed out that I didn't have the poem on my website, so here it is . . .
