My great-great-great-grandfather, James Kearney Taaffe was born on this day in 1830. He hated tariffs, but he would’ve freaking loved my books.

In this mad, absurd, and raving world, I find Vonnegut a writer appropriate for our times. I wasn’t particularly a fan when I was younger, but I now find myself reading more and more of him.

💡HUGE NEWS-- Since I have no marketing strategy, I’m now asking national security officials to include excerpts from my books when they send top-secret, classified messages. That will expose my books to MILLIONS of people all over the world!📕

One of my readers said my book made her laugh so hard she spit up some omelette. 🍳 I told her she has nothing to complain about if she’s wealthy enough to buy eggs.

“There I was in late middle age, cut loose in a thoroughly looted, bankrupt nation whose assets had been sold off to foreigners, a nation swamped by unchecked plagues and superstition and illiteracy and hypnotic TV, with virtually no health services for the poor. Where to go? What to do?” (HP 1990)

I believe in honesty and the U.S. Constitution. (I’m only saying this because if I ever decide to run for office, someone will find this message and realize that I’m unqualified to serve).

Instead of getting authors or celebs to review my first novel, I’ve decided to get comments from the people who matter the most— the characters. “If you could actually measure the height of a tall tale, this ‘un would reach higher than a skyscraper.” —John D. Dalrymple
