Since tomorrow is my birthday 🎂, I don't need presents or donations to charities that Facebook suggests I use. What would make me happy 😁 is to be able to spread the word about my book to readers who need this book but haven't heard about it yet.

Thank you to the Midwest Book Review for the kind words! MBR recommends Mosaic “for readers with an interest in books focused on love, loss, death, and grief.” Available at bookshop.org or your local bookstore can order it! Also an ebook! #memoir #authorlife #smallpress #booksky #authorsky #agentsky

Show me your kid’s weird play set up that you randomly stumbled upon. I’ll go first: #parenting #parentinghumor

Could “Gobble Up” be weird Al’s next big hit? #kendricklamar #squabbleup

Love that my local paper came and did a story on my upcoming book and the writing classes I teach for the community! #authors #writingcommunity

We're getting to the time of year when I start wincing at "Best Of" lists that are entirely big 5 titles. Come on, we don't really believe that, coincidentally, ALL the year's 'best' books were published by the biggest companies and zero small presses, do we?

Saturday morning out and about!

Looking to connect with writers/authors/agents/lit magazines/publishers! I built a decent network on Twitter, but I’m jumping ship and starting over. Where’s the community here? I’d love to connect! #author #writers #authorsky

Just received my first blurb for my debut memoir from an accomplished writer who I admire to no end. Publishing a book is such a ride of stress and greatness, and this was definitely a great moment.

I’m officially making the leap to Bluesky! Where are my fellow writers and book lovers? I will follow back!
