Fusenews: Hello, Ms. Champeen!
We start with the Me Stuff, and then it’s all downhill from there, as they say. First up, I’m slated to be in NYC this weekend! *enter noisemaker sound here* Yup! It’s Bookfest time at the Bank Street College of Education and this guy is gonna lead a discussion on humor with Jon Scieszka, […]
Fusenews: Some remedies are worse than the disease itself
Happy day after the day after Thanksgiving. Today I’m going to start you off on serious news story and that will pretty much set the tone for the day. I live in Evanston, IL. It’s home to Northwestern University and like a lot of college towns it’s a pretty liberal place. We sit just […]
Video Sunday: And Stuff Like That
Good morning! We’ve not done a Video Sunday here on Fuse8 in a while, so let’s start with the ritualized boiling of the blood. Which is to say, can picture books be written in an hour? No. But Slate decided to go on and and prove as much. The results: More interesting, in a way, […]

Fusenews: Worth it, if only for the clock
Hi, folks. Haven’t done one of these in a while. Let’s see what there is to see. If I’m feeling nostalgic for NYC this week there’s little wonder. Whether it’s an article on many library branches’ secret apartments (I visited 8-10 of them in my day and someday a clever photographer should do a […]
Fusenews: Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of Garbage Pail Kids and kings . . .
Happy Monday to you! You want the goods? I’ve got the goods. Or, at the very least, a smattering of interesting ephemera. Let’s do this thing. First and foremost, you may have noticed the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards were announced. The BGHB Awards are some of the strangest in the biz since they encompass […]
Fusenews: The occasional library-centric “unruly pleasure”
I’ve done it again. Delayed my Fusenews too long and now this post is going to overflow with too much good stuff. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say. Me stuff for the start. And in fact, there just so much Me Stuff today that I’m just going to cram it all into this little paragraph […]

Video Sunday: The Lord of the Jello
Morning, folks. What’s that? Why, yes. Yes, I would like to watch this video about Nathan Hale’s newest GN The Underground Abductor. Thank you! Seems to me the man has lucked out in terms of timing too. With people rallying to put Ms. Tubman on the $20 bill, it is now vastly important to learn […]
Fusenews: Nothing but death, deer, and Zionism as far as the eye can see
Top of the morning to you, froggies! I had one heckuva weekend, I tell you. Actually it was just one heckuva Saturday. First there was the opening of the new Bank Street Bookstore location here in NYC. I was one of the local authors in attendance and, as you can see from this photograph taken […]
Video Sunday: “White inside the hambone always”
When actress Lena Dunham started talking in the news about how she wanted to turn Catherine Called Birdy into a film, I was intrigued. And apparently she’s not a fly-by-night children’s book lover either. All her tattoos are children’s literature inspired. Hearing this I figured she’d have the usual suspects. Eloise, sure. And she does […]
Fusenews: Chock full o’ NYPL
Some me stuff to start us off. NYPL turned its handy dandy little 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing 2014 list into an interactive bit of gorgeousness. So as to help it along, I wrote a blog post on the library’s website (I have two blogs, if you want to get technical about it, but […]
