Two rows of books at the Red Hen Press booth at the Associated Writers Programs conference in Baltimore, MD this week. The top center one is my new novel-in-verse called Walking Wheel. It has a gold William-Morris-like background of wheat stalks and a large font with the title in white.

A friend at AWP in Baltimore took this photo today! Live in the world, my new book Walking Wheel. If you're at the conference, you can go visit at the Red Hen Press booths. #booksky #ohwow #readbooks Thanks, Theresa Pappas!

“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done," journalist Garrett Graff wrote: "A superpower … suicide because the [Repub] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

It turns out it was a group of moms skiing together for three days at the Frog Lake Huts. When this happened they and the four guides were heading back to the trailhead to their cars. That puts a different spin on things. Six rescued last night, with two of those going to the hospital. 9 missing.

Yeah. My county, but higher up. Not looking good. I can't imagine why they were out there with all the storm warnings we've been getting all week.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.
