And that's another one in the books! (Get it?) Check out my latest publication, "Intertwined", sitting pretty over at Red Coyote! I want to thank the editors for putting their trust in my little horror plant story. It's a privilege and an honor to see my work in print.

I've been wanting to read I Heard You Paint Houses for years and I was FINALLY able to find it on Libby this weekend. Finished it in 2 days and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Amazing book with some intriguing insight into mafia life.

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

I just finished reading this story and it is beyond incredible! Felt like I didn't blink once the whole time I was reading. Thank you for sharing you work.

These books had a stranglehold on third-fifth grade me. Was always on the lookout for new ones

At a panel I was on I was asked how it is that idiots tend to get ahead in politics despite them being idiots. Ms. Dorothy answered that question in the 40s:

Same, but I need to stop looking at it right when I wake up. Nothing like hearing dystopian news before breakfast.

Third Lantern Lit is one of the greatest organizations I've ever been involved with. Their readings, galas, and events introduced me to what my writing life could be like after graduation and led to me meeting so many wonderful people, something I'll be forever grateful for.

You have to read the book and guess if it's real or fiction

I feel like cooking would be infinitely more enjoyable if I didn't see dishes fill the sink in real time

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew White is a masterclass at starting off strong. Opened it up and somehow ended up at page 40 in what felt like seconds

For context, it's "Killer Heart" by Barb Johnson. Great story with a side of emotional turmoil.

Just read a story so sad I had to put it down and walk around a bit. You know how brutal a story has to be to make me EXERCISE?!

Absolutely loved this story! Hits about every emotion you have and has a devastating yet earned ending to wrap it all up. Great stuff.
