Author Gretchen McNeil is a "snarky, high-energy thriller with abundant wit." Or is that a Kirkus review of THREE DROPS OF BLOOD (Disney*Hyperion, 3/21/23)?

Coming 3.5.24 from @DisneyBooks, an homage to Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt, FOUR-LETTER WORD. Is hottie Italian exchange student Alberto really who he claims to be? Or is a notorious serial killer living in Izzy’s house? And will she figure it out before she’s his next victim?

This book was absolutely amazing. We read it for school. It was a 10/10 . One of my personal favorite books. Everyone should read this book. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The plot twist was crazy. Did not expect it! @GretchenMcNeil

In America, freedom is not to be given. It is not to be bestowed. It is our right. That includes the fundamental freedom of a woman to be able to make decisions about her own body.

So thankful for @navahw and @dawbooks for loving this dark little folk horror as much as I do, for @ClarkLiterary for encouraging it, and for @reactormag for making the announcement. ADULT DEBUT is music to my ears…
We are excited to help announce that @dawbooks has acquired World English rights for They Fear Not Men in the Woods by @GretchenMcNeil, a Pacific Northwest horror about rediscovered bones and the deeper secrets behind them... https://t.co/4mgivx2DTR

Which is, I believe, the ultimate tacit goal of book bans. We have to fight back and we have to do it NOW.

Restricting access to children’s books not only discourages reading but also diminishes a child’s ability to think for themselves. In a world where social media holds increasing power of what people believe, a lack of critical thinking could devastated entire generation.

Placing an oversight board of ideologically-motivated parents and politicians in charge of who has access to certain children’s books is a framework for book banning, which is the most rampant form of censorship in America today.

I was busy while on vacation. Yesterday, in conjunction with @AuthorsABB, @ElanaKArnold @marinaomi Molly Knox Ostertag, @emteehall and I joined Huntington Beach council members to speak out again a recently passed ordinance aiming to restrict access to certain children’s books.
Plans to audit children's books and privatize library management in Huntington Beach, Calif., are drawing criticism from censorship opponents, with council members and Authors Against Book Bans decrying the joint measures.
