We'll be packing our bags (mainly with books) and heading to Baltimore in a couple of days for #AWP26 - looking forward to hanging out with fellow literary types and seeing the sights of Baltimore - I haven't been in years, but the energy is always manic

The second book in my unplanned trilogy of books inspired by Mary Shelley was the novel the Mrs Saville - which did well for itself, even winning the Manhattan Book Award youtube.com/shorts/i27cx...

We are experimenting with a virtual book club to discussion the short stories in After Dinner Conversation. Makes sense, each story comes with five discussion questions anyway! You can sign up here! buff.ly/ChD2bd6

Brady and I will be in Baltimore next week for #AWP26 - with some 10,000 writers, editors and publishers there, we plan to record some interviews for the #podcast - Grant ditched us to be in a Neil Simon play ... Break a leg, G-man!

I think this young reviewer got it exactly right: Even though Mary lived two centuries ago, her fears, her struggles, her stress, her trauma are all too familiar, especially for young women of the 21st century. Mary Shelley's story is an Everywoman's story in many ways.

I have the honor of writing a blurb for this forthcoming #book, much of which was written in a Thesis course I taught for @lindenwoodmfa.bsky.social - Congratulations @nkweidman.bsky.social & kudos to indie publisher @tortoisebooks.bsky.social for bringing it out

While Aspiring Child is about much more than Mary's writing of #Frankenstein, there are several sonnets devoted to its macabre origin and teenage Mary's strange summer at the Villa Diodati #maryshelley #biography #ghoststories #gothicnovel

I made a #video, mainly for my MFA students, and decided to turn it into Bonus Episode 10 of our #podcast - it's on the importance of trusting the #creative process, applicable to #writing and all creative endeavors.

Nabokov said the key (the only key) to a book's success was a vigorous advertising campaign. #maryshelley #frankenstein #biography #poetry #romantics #gothic

#Writer friends: Has your inbox become overrun with emails from "people" who offer to help to promote your #book? For a fee of course. They're obviously AI-generated schemes. It started a few months ago and has increased in intensity. Now I get a dozen or more per day.

Ready for circulation. I was curious where the catalogers would place a biography/poetry collection (DDC 818.60, if you're curious).

All three editions of Aspiring Child begin with a brief Preface. This final paragraph sums up what my overarching ambition was for the collection - once I realized I was writing a biography of Mary Shelley #maryshelleysfrankenstein #poetrylovers

Episode 32 of our #podcast is fully and freely available. Scintillating topics, a few laughs, a great new story -- and we don't mention politics once. Who doesn't need a break from thinking about that? #writingcommunity #AWP26 #fictionwriter
