Come to Portland, city of introverts who don't want to be around people and are extremely proud of themselves to the point of making merch! (I miss LA.)

Love Story: JFK Jr and Carolyn is worth it just for the massive '90s nostalgia trip. I didn't think the story was that compelling, though. I was kind of hoping it would turn into a Mad Men reboot in the '90s, with JFK as Don Draper. That would have been better.

One of the best things you can do as a writer to support the literary landscape is to buy small press books. Buy them at indie bookstores, ask for them at your libraries. The big publishers have proven they are just another corporation. Small presses are responsible for innovation.

Indies Choice Awards

BOOKSELLERS! Please consider voting for EPIC AND LOVELY, a September '25 IndieNext pick. My book got very little publicity owing to the fact that it was published by a small press, so this would be a much-appreciated boost. Thank you for considering.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I'm not going to AWP.

Feeling like shit about myself on my big birthday is bad for the head and soul. But please do swing by the WVU Press table and take a look at my baby-book-book.

Chonies is Mexican slang for underwear! I grew up hearing and saying it in SoCal.

I'm beginning to think that the vast majority of elected officials are on the psychopathy spectrum. It checks out.

Basic white ladies who shop at my store buy The Correspondent for book club and the HR books for either safe titillation or because of the TV show. There's a pretty narrow range of what's selling right now and those are the top 2.

These videos of women sitting on the toilet pretending to be taking a dump with their chonies on and clutching their middles are starting to make me mad. Like, quit targeting me, algo. I poop just fine. Not all middle-aged women.
