The best thing about writing is that you can think you know what you're doing, you can have a solid plan, and then something will whack you across the side of the head and throw everything into disarray.

By request: It’s my honor. My dialysis days were some of my hardest and I met so many amazing people of all ages. One of the single most formative experiences of my life. This story is a little bit me, a little of who I almost was, a little of the people I loved and lost. ✨ 💙 🩸

The second draft of this weird-ass thing I'm writing is 45,000 words. Starting to think it might be a novel. Or some beast that has no place in the world. Either way, I am fond of it so far.

Add The Slynx to the list of post-apocalyptic books that say a lot about this time we're living through. Especially in regards to all the despotic buffoonery.

There is a thing that's happening. A book release party for my... book!? If you happen to be near Baltimore on March 11.

Many thanks to the lovely Chin-Sun Lee @scribblepost.bsky.social, author of Upcountry, for the lovely words about my upcoming collection, SECRET KEEPERS, out March 25 -- five weeks from today! -- from Belle Point Press. Preorder link:https://bellepointpress.com/products/secret-keepers

I sometimes think that people will just "hear about" my book. But I don't think that actually happens unless I'm actively getting them to hear about it. My book MAGIC CAN'T SAVE US comes out May 6. Will you help me get the word out by sharing this post? bookshop.org/p/books/magi...

The library in the town where I grew up just ordered my book. Too cool. I went to storytime there as a toddler, took classes there, played rudimentary computer games on floppy disks, got kicked out of there as a dumb teen, read about Buddhism, used the card catalog and took out LPs there...
