[Not] Hypothetically if I were to do some traveling to promote Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire, would you come see me? Definitely Chicago & West Virginia (Huntington, Charleston). Also looking at NYC & mayyyyyybe LA. Possibly Dallas or Austin as well. Would you come? If so, where?

The new photos update for iPhone lets you use pretty much whatever language you want to search your own photos. So if I search for “shirtless selfies” I know exactly how vain I am, and how vain I’ve progressively become over the years.
