I had the privilege of seeing this short film based on my story in a packed theater last night. Hopefully it won't be the last time I experience something like this but I'll be riding that high for at least a few days. The jokes were landing, people seemed really into it. I was blown away. So cool.

Was delighted to see this very thoughtful review of Gloria Patri over at Goodreads. If you haven't picked up a copy, now is as good a time as any.
"Every now and then a novel comes along that expertly captures the zeitgeist."
