FWIW, I'm totally buying Theo of Golden for my mom for Christmas. She will LOVE it.

The Allen Levi Theo of Golden auction has big “you don’t like him you’re only dating him because he’s rich” energy.

If you can't read the title and author name from ten feet away, it's totally a miss.

I hate what the world has become and I hate having to think about all those evil, stupid people who only want death and chaos, but at least Ira Kaplan still does on-air fundraisers for WFMU.

Bookseller observation:

If someone is buying a book for their dying friend, it's always a book of Mary Oliver poetry.

At least once a week, someone tells me that Mary Oliver purchase is for someone in the hospital.

Epic and Lovely is not getting reviewed.

If you feel like doing me a big favor, I'm now in the position of begging for Amazon reviews.

If you want to support small press fiction, me personally, oddly-shaped people, or survivors of abuse, please tell someone, or Amazon, about the book.

I'm going to sound like the biggest hater & loser in the world and I know we must do our political performance but the "look at my war ravaged Portland" photos especially from politicians are getting a little 😬 when we have crisis levels of people without housing including unknown numbers of kids

Spokane. It feels like a place you can afford to make art, like Austin 30 years ago. I like this building.

My husband contacted Dua Lipa's book club to get them to consider my new novel, and that (among other reasons) is why I love the shit out of that man.

Feeling pretty low about the lack of reception to Epic and Lovely, and Susan is not on this planet anymore to talk me through it.

I'm slowly recording a DIY audiobook of Epic and Lovely that probably won't be ready until January or February. FYI.
