I have been attending book clubs the past several weeks to talk about my book and my essays about growing up gay in a religious community in the 90s and these meetings have been so unbelievably cathartic and meaningful to me. Thank you to everyone who has been there so far.
See, everyone of you should read this book. Not because it’s the only book I’ve read this year, but because it is a good diversion from, well all of this.
Order it wherever decent people sell books online.
A really lovely review of my book on Exponent II today.

That makes me so happy!
Bottles of water at tonight's book event for We're Thankful for the Moisture.
I'm doing a little book event tonight at my favorite knitting store (Knitting Hive) in Salt Lake City at 7 PM. Please come by if you're free!
I can't read.
Turns out it was incredibly cool to see my book on a bookshelf at a bookstore and I felt weird but asked someone to take a picture.
Fun article this morning in the Trib about me and Skylar and We're Thankful for the Moisture.

Sometimes I get annoyed with them. And then I remember their entire life is their childhood and I owe it to them to make it magical.
The one on 15th and 15th
Amazing
First time seeing my book chilling at a bookstore.
You'll never believe who just found out I have a cheese stick.
Folks, If you’re in the market for a good laugh, and who isn’t these days, and you haven’t picked up your copy of “We’re Thankful for the Moisture: A Gay Guy’s Guide to Mormon Faith, Family, and Fruit Preservation.”
Do it now.
It’s lively and quick and has more giggles than a bowl full of jelly.

Happy book launch day to all those who celebrate (it's a religious holiday but one of the looser ones where you don't have to go to church with your grandma.

Just found out one of our neighbors got confused and signed. So now we are getting the link to have your signature removed out to everyone who lives within a mile of us.

I just had a prop 4 Signature gatherer stop by my house (extremely misleading explanation of course) and I said there was no way I would sign and I was discouraging my neighbors from signing as well. She said "you're doing a good job. No one is signing this thing."
