The child woke up grumpy.

Bring Her Back was very good indeed.

No rest for the wicked

Facebook has reached my peak “I don’t give a fuck about that” level.

Reminder that you get a bonus book if you order AWRY directly through Bridgeeight.com Or get the single book at your favorite bookstore.

Dear independent bookstores, I love you, but don’t stiff small presses. We’re your biggest supporters.

This is Popcorn, one of eight feral cats we feed and made shelters for. He’s a good little lad.

When the cats go wild during a promo shoot…

The boy and his thoughts.

Wild parsnips invaded the yard. I dug deeply, crafting unique insults for each.

My short story collection, AWRY was released two weeks ago. It is available at Bridgeeight.com.

The black walnut tree buds late just like drafts.

The weeds, starting their offensive early, have conspired to claim the Asters.

Today I wrote another page on a new book project. This is the fun part, when the book is young and filled with hope before the crushing editor emerges in me again.

Surprise tulip in my yard. Three years and this is the first appearance. Thankful for sudden wonder.

Congratulations to @juliaelliott.bsky.social on the release of Hellions!

Hey guys! I am in People Magazine! Rambling like a weirdo! And you can see my book cover! I’ve never had an exclusive before! This is so weird and cool tbh people.com/see-the-cove...

Starting my offensive against the weeds. They won last summer. This summer, I’m ready.

Everyone is talking about the house Sally Jessy Raphael is selling, yet no one is talking about this painting in the listing photos.

Someone found this while hiking. Would you free the doll?

Name this band:

Sitting on my porch with the stray cats we feed. We are pleased about the spring.

On Monday, I will read with my friend Karen Sayler McElmurray.

@astrophilpress.bsky.social will be releasing the second edition of this fantastic book by @shirad.bsky.social .

Found this old detergent in a science lab on campus. Glad to see they went for the blood first.

Unboxed and ready for the first reading on Monday.

The child with the books.

Six days until AWRY is freed from its cage.
