Sarah Hart signs a copy of Once Upon a Prime as I stand beside her with a big ole goofy grin on my face because I’m so excited.

Here is me, absolutely giddy and fangirling over @sarah-hart.bsky.social signing a copy of her book for me! I’m so fortunate to have gotten to hear her speak at UNCA tonight!

Anyone else feel like Adam Driver’s character in The Dead Don’t Die… you just keep saying, “This isn’t going to end well.”

Sure I’ve made soup beans with ham before, but today, for the first time, I used honest-to-pig fatback.

I’m not sure there’s a more beautiful place I’ve had a reading than Bagatelle Books / flora in Asheville. Beautiful people there, too. I’m grateful!
