When Stephen King blurbed WOLF, it felt like a dream come true. To see him say these words about I KNOW A PLACE feels like I must still be dreaming. After all, this is the guy who taught me how to write a short story, and what a collection could be. I'm just so mightily grateful. 🗝️

“Cover up” is my least favorite phrase of 2026.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

“I’m not mad at you.”
“Are you okay?”

These are the final words of the Minnesotans murdered by ICE in the past two weeks.

Please reflect on their kindness, humanity, and grace in the days and weeks and months to come. These people were the best of us.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Tell me this doesn’t ring true for the horror of today. I pulled the justice card first and blew my mind. Feel the surge, but stay steady, observe and gather information first. #tarot

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

When @alicefeeney.com popped by to see us this week, I got her to sign a chunk of bookplates, so if you want a signed copy of any of Alice's books - then why not click this handy link?

The sky rains, the wind shifts,
plans unravel, voices clash.
The monks walk, calm in each step,
watching what cannot be changed.
They do not fight the tide,
nor clutch what slips away.

So many ARC’s I want to read and review. The worst is when you ask and get denied. 🫣 #netgalley #booksky

So Bobby Weir and David Bowie share the same death date. #bobweir #gratefuldead

Bob Weir died and I am not okay. Shocked. #gratefuldead

David Bowie would have been 79 years old today. The world hasn’t been the same since he left us.

Not going to lie, when I saw the Maduro photo - all I thought was Estes Method. Since I finished a rewatch of Hellier last evening. #news #hellier
