We are truly hobbled to celebrate 90 weeks as a bestseller! NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT is still landing in the hands of crazed fans who just want us Horror Natives to get back to the typewriter and put out a sequel. It’s coming next fall…
Thanks everyone 🖤

After a week of urgent care and ER visits and my 13mo daughter being lethargic and miserable, I’m happy to say she’s definitely on the mend! My girl is smiling and giggling again 🥹

This book came out a year ago. Had a great tour, a glowing NYT review, and was on NPR. It didn’t blow up. Not a bestseller. Didn’t get optioned. Won nothing. Didn’t earn out. Now I have no contract and I’m struggling with the next one. Being a writer is an endless war of attrition. Time to write!

To the contributors, booksellers, readers, and every person who passed it along: this is yours as much as ours. Thank you for keeping Never Whistle at Night alive.

If you’re late to the game like me, check out this 15min short film written & directed by @tai-leclaire.bsky.social that features @kaniehtiio.bsky.social too! It’s on HBO Max as the 6th episode of “Reframed: Next Gen Narratives.” A really cool Indigenous take on Mark Twain’s classic story.

Just saw that THE MONKEY is on Disney+. Any spoiler-free opinions on it? From the trailer, it feels like Child’s Play + Final Destination.

“You’ve officially been scouted” hits a bit different as a Native when being invited to join an app called TRIBAL that is essentially a networking app for content creators and has nothing to do with tribal nations. Confused…

Turned 35 today. Had a perfect dinner date with my wife.
5 years into my literary career, and I feel like I’m just warming up. Now I’m stepping into a new opportunity to keep paying it forward, amplifying even more Native voices, and making sure that rising tide lifts every boat.

Made a move behind the scenes. Something that’ll help get more Native writers on more shelves. Can’t say more yet…

I love trippy dreams but the one last night really spooked me. It was a sleep paralysis one where I was trying my hardest to get up off the couch, even smashing my phone into my face to wake up and screaming, and feeling my demon pull my legs, but it felt so real. So gnarly.
Anyone else get those?

Today I was among fellow Penguin Random House authors in a panel titled Battle of the Genre wherein we discussed our respective genres. I think I made a respectable case for #Indigenous #Horror.
Bonus: This week Ted and I signed 180 copies of NWAN and I signed 15 copies of ANOKA, and both sold out!
