Yo, @caseystegman.com! My guy! Congrats! So proud of this guy and I can't wait to snatch his debut off the shelf!

Thrilled to share the beautiful cover of my debut novel, IN THE DESERT, on sale 3-3-2026 from @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social
Many thanks to the brilliant photographer, Keith Bernstein for use of the stunning cover image and to Ashling Dennehy for the design.
I'm so excited!

Started reading Stewart O'Nan's The Night Country while camping with the family. So far, this is easily the best Fall/Halloween reading experience ever.

It was a pleasure writing something for an anthology edited by @curtisippolito.bsky.social - even more so that it was picked for publication. I wrote it from a place of anger because this is something worth being angry for. I hope you get a copy TODAY and see the amazing work Curtis cultivated here!

A lot of mighty fine writers are sayin mighty fine things about my gas station story and I'm mighty grateful for it.

COUNT THE DUST is out from @leftoverbooks.bsky.social in December, y'all...

My debut novel, IN THE DESERT will be published 3-3-2026 by @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social

Many thanks to @jonathanin2k.bsky.social !

Yes, sir! They extended the deadline to the end if the month...

Here is the "mood board" for the story I'm working on.

Heads up @jdclappwrites.bsky.social, it's a sad one..

I do! Working on questions now! BTW, Paloma broke my heart!

Sweet! I'm on it!

I'd be honored, brother!

Hey @cwblackwell.bsky.social, you down for an interview?

Working my way through @cwblackwell.bsky.social's collection WHATEVER KILLS THE PAIN. He was already one of my favorite writers, but I think this might be his masterwork. Well, until his next book and I say the same thing.

Super stoked to see what is next for this guy!

Love what @danrussell.bsky.social and the gang are doing over at @gritquarterly.bsky.social.

Go check them out now!

So honored to be part of this upcoming anthology.

"What's gone is gone. Real fairy tales end in the gutter. No amount of trying to live regular can bring back the fireworks."

Absolutely loving @wmboyle4.bsky.social's latest. True masterwork. Haven't cared about characters this much since Dan and Allison in NORTHLINE.

Thank you, brother! Hope you liked it!

Glad to see you, brother!

Far too kind! You are the man, Casey!

Few authors have influenced/inspired me as much as Tim O'Brien. It makes me so happy that this book exists..

@danrussell.bsky.social is one of my favorite southern writers. I've read POOR BIRDS, and yes, it is phenomenal. Most importantly it's a testament to the power of indie lit.

Proud of @danrussell.bsky.social and @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social for putting out such important work!

Shucks, man!
