Wishing I could go to @readout.bsky.social in person, but it won’t happen this year. I’ll be doing a recorded reading for the event along with many other authors. If you’re near Gulfport, go check out the book festival! If not, check out what’s virtually available.

Ohhhh yes @chuckwendig.bsky.social I’m struggling with this, too
It’s fun trying to find that line between “I need to remain vigilant of the horrors afoot” and also “oh no my heart is racing and my jaw is making weird creaky sounds and I can taste pennies.”
