Pamela Anderson debuts dramatic copper hairstyle to acclaim capping off year-long comeback, while Pam Bondi beclowns herself in congressional oversight hearing which in a just world would be career-ending. Mixed week for Pams.

SoCal. I’ll be doing a few local events starting next week to kick off my holiday novella The Dogs of Venice. Please come say hello! 🐕🇮🇹

Don’t we all. This means so much! Let’s find joy where we can get it. 🩵

A promotional graphic featuring author Steven Rowley and his book 'The Guncle.' On the left, a smiling man with a beard, wearing clear-framed glasses and a black sweater over a white collared shirt, is photographed against a blurred outdoor background. On the right, the book cover of 'The Guncle' is displayed, with bright yellow and blue colors, an illustration of a man in a green robe walking by a pool with two children and a dog, and the title in large, playful letters. A quote from People magazine calls the book 'Wise and hilarious.' Below, the KPL Podcast logo appears with the tagline 'Discover More.'

@stevenrowley.bsky.social has graced the KPL Podcast THREE times, and each time, his stories and insights have been nothing short of captivating! Catch up on his episodes before we welcome him as this year's One Author, One Kirkwood on May 21st. kplpodcast.buzzsprout.com/1278428/epis... 🎧

I would LOVE to come to Toronto one day! Hopefully we can make it work. (Or, you know, MOVE to Toronto the way things are crumbling here. 🇨🇦)

St. Louis, save the date! May 21. Can’t wait. @kirkwoodlib.bsky.social

Thank you so much! Hard at work on something new. 🩵

I love this so much and you absolutely MUST see The Sound of Music now. (I believe it’s streaming on Hulu.) This year is the film’s 60th anniversary and it’s as incredible as ever! Thank you for taking this trip abroad with me. 🙂

This week marks ten years since I signed with my wonderful agent after years of countless rejections. I wasn’t sure publishing was meant for me. Five books later, THREE of them are on this week’s USA Today Bestseller List. What a journey. Dreams can and do come true! KEEP GOING.

I’m at the point in my new manuscript where it made sense to drive three hours away from it and take in the ocean air as if I have a Victorian disease. #AmWriting

Thank you so much! Writing a sequel is daunting — you don’t want to interfere with any goodwill readers have for the original. I’m so glad you enjoyed this as much if not more.

Thank you for reading! It’s daunting writing a sequel — you don’t want to interfere with any goodwill for the original or diminish its memory in readers’ minds. I’m thrilled in this case the sequel lived up to expectations!

Thank YOU for reading. I’m so thrilled you’re enjoying the listen. And hope you enjoy your trip abroad just as much!

Haha. You’re looking for the alt.

Annual PSA that books make great gifts, especially when purchased from independent bookstores! Happy shopping. 🛍️

My sun bunnies.

The books that stole my heart (and my sleep) this year—let’s dive in!

First up is The Guncle and The Guncle Abroad by @stevenrowley.bsky.social
#BookSky

It means so much to know readers love these characters as much as I do. But it sounds like I owe you some sleep. Haha. 😴

Of course it's the cop

Happy reading!

It’s finally sweater weather in Palm Springs.

I aim to please! 🎧

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway adventure! My sister Laura is in town and we spent the day hiking atop Mount San Jacinto, where the temperature hovered around 40°. 🥶Patrick had the same adventure with Maisie and Grant in The Guncle, although in summer when it was slightly warmer. 🚠

Thank you for reading The Celebrants! Hope you laughed plenty too.
