Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support mental well-being in all communities. Writing can be a solitary endeavor, which can be challenging. It's one of the reasons why finding community as a writer is so important. Connection builds community.

Management, the gremlins in my brain, have seen fit to reveal the cover for my new short fiction collection (out 6/2/26). It's dark, funny, and a bit unhinged, everything I wanted. Pre-Order here: books2read.com/u/bML2gV #CoverReveal #IndieAuthor #BookSky

Had a great time at the New Mexico Writers annual dinner last night. Great to meet a few of our authors in person and meet some fellow independent publishers.

We had so much fun this past weekend at Sandia Starforgers. So many amazing people, reconnected with friends and made several new friends.

"There was poetry in leadoff hitters with little power who ran well and got on base and the big sluggers in the middle of the order. Kyle Schwarber is a fine player, but there is no poetry in batting him leadoff." My latest Kibitzing with Lincoln. . lincolnmitchell.substack.com/p/poetry-bas...

Coming soon on my blog! Several talented authors are sharing their thought on small roles with large importance in SFF. It's going to be great!!!! #bookblogger #booksky

Yet another thing that sucks about AI: people are now getting spam AI emails from "bookclubs." I have been Witty and Sarcastic Bookclub long before AI started being shoved in everyone's faces, and now I'm worried that messages I send will either be ignored or get sent straight to spam folders. Joy.

If you are in Columbus OH in July come to the Book Festival to meet Marie and Jes!
