Had such a great time in Pennsylvania these last few days, hanging at Pocket Books with @mrswhitehouse74.bsky.social and H&H Books with @samuelashworth.bsky.social. Got to hug @jamiebeth.bsky.social and a bunch of @barrelhouse.bsky.social friends. 🥰 Now I have to teach today. Wtf.

I learned SAD GROWNUPS was removed from consideration for Kansas Notable Books (along w other books the deciders worried might endanger future federal funding). This isn't a bitter post. More sad that libraries feel compelled to make choices like these in these censor-y times.

I hereby declare that all people on Bluesky deserve a treat. A massage. A walk in the woods. A big ole piece of apple pie. Maybe a hot bath with lavender bath salts. A day off work. To sit in front of a lake & do nothing. Another massage. We are going through a lot and our bodies need some care.

Guys, I could NOT be more excited to have a story published at Short Story, Long, and I honestly really love this story in a way that I think you love just a few stories you’ve written. Maybe it’s the encroaching nostalgia, maybe it’s just the fun I had with the form, but I hope you’ll read it!
