So I took a chance that it'd be okay and went to @blythebookspgh.bsky.social to drop off some new (autographed!) books and say hi and see what all is there. Y'all are missing out if you haven't been there yet. #shoplocal #Pittsburgh #Pittsburghsmallbusiness #pittsburghlocalbusiness #bookstore

A happy little accident - we're always closed on Mondays (even when we're open FT), but i happened to be here today working on some stuff. A family showed up hoping to buy some books, so I invited them in and let them browse. They bought some great new reads, and I got to sell some books today.

On this day, six years ago, I found out that some copies of my book (FURIOUSLY HAPPY) were randomly interspersed with pages from Game of Thrones. I replaced all the ones I found, but I suspect there are still some out there, confusing the shit out of readers who thought I just made a weird choice.
