We ended our busy day with Lego hour at the library. Miss Anna always does a great job with programs for the kids. Today’s Lego challenge was to build a rocket. As always, you can build the challenge, or something related or free build. Everett built a great rocket. Emory and June Charlotte opted for space bases. And I built a small rocket too. Can’t wait for the next Lego challenge! #lego #legohour #legochallenge #legorocket #legospacebase #mydpl #mydecatural #decaturpubliclibrary
And then this happened… I had a lovely time with readers at @gwinnettlibrary Norcross location and the #friendsofgwinettlibrary I love sharing my passion for history with an audience hungry to hear about the women (and men) who changed the world. @eagleeyebooks was on hand to sell copies of my books. They will have copies to sell at tonight’s event at #decaturpubliclibrary Then I stoped @bnperimeter to see Sister Mother Warrior on the shelves, meet the great staff at @barnesandnoble and sign a few copies. #books #summerreads #haiti #haitian #hatianrevolution #historical #historicalfiction #tbr #tbrpile #tbrlist #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womenleaders #forgottenhistory #blackwomen #blackhistory #vanessarileybooks #vanessariley #vanessarileyauthor #vanessarileyhere #vanessarileylibrary #vanessarileybn
Fun summer day with my favorite people! Oceans Story Time at the library. Everett was spouting some fun facts and Emory’s full body emotions at everything hit me in the heart every time. Those two boys are pure magic. The off to gymnastics to watch the littles work on their skills #mydecatural #decaturpubliclibrary #thematrixgymhsv #thematrixgymnastics
We had the BEST day! Story time with Ariel at Delano, playing the splash pad, home for lunch and writing and reading exercises, and ending the night with baseball practice.

My hometown library of Decatur, Texas, and specifically Denice Herrera created the creepiest, cleverest Zoom set for my book talk tonight with the great librarian Patricia Peters ... a clue-stuffed Betty Crocker Cookbook and two posters for the missing fictional girl in WE ARE ALL THE SAME IN THE DARK. I took the name Trumanell from a real-life Wise County woman, Trumanell Maples. I signed my first book for her in Decatur ten years ago and told her one day I might steal her name. Four books later, I did. And she surprised me back by making sure it was her high school picture that was used on these posters! @lunafe2 I bow to your artistic talent! @decaturtxlibrary I bow to your support of me since I was a kid walking a mile every summer to your doors! #librariesofinstagram #librariesrock #decaturpubliclibrary #therealtrumanell #bettycrockerqueen #youcanzoomhomeagain
