New Orleans is known around the world for many things — jazz, beads, bevvies, Mardi Gras, ghosts, graveyards, floods & food. But did you know there are community cats in almost every neighborhood? I take you on a special journey in my book, Street Cats and Where to Find Them!

Sold lots of books, took very few photos, and lost my voice, but not my energy to tell the Stanchion story. Thanks to those who stopped by, the Stanchion authors, contributors & subscribers who I finally got to meet irl, hug & thank for being a part of all this. It was so incredibly rad. 🖤🤍

I say this with the utmost sincerity: f*ck these people & their cruelty.

The hardest working man at Awp right here, no joke

I did it. My first AWP. Thank you to every single human who stopped to talk, had the curiosity to learn about Stanchion, hug, shake hands, and take a chance on buying some of the indie lit I've published. What a beautiful experience. I appreciate you. 😊

This week: My story appears on p. 69 of the new @stanchion.bsky.social. Nice! I was also published in @chmmagazine.bsky.social #69. Nice! I also finished "I Run Away to Join the Circus," my....69th story. so anyway it's Nice Week

At AWP I got the chance to meet Jeff @stanchion.bsky.social, see my book in the wild, and even sign a few! A great experience for this lil writer! Many thanks for the warm welcome! 😁

Spent time at @stanchion.bsky.social 's booth at AWP this morning. Had so much fun! #travelwriter #catlovers

Here, pictured with the guitar I've been playing since college, is @stanchion.bsky.social's gorgeous music issue. I have a story in it! It's about a band; everyone in the story sucks and they're all me. www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...

The Stanchion offsite reading is TONIGHT! It's going to be beautiful and chaotic!

"Good morning, Baltimore!" [Tracy Turnblad]

Reminder that the Stanchion booth (434) @awpwriter.org will also have my book Street Cats & Where to Find Them + free bookmarks with lots of my kitty pics on 'em. And for every copy Street Cats you buy, you get a raffle ticket to win this ADORABLE crocheted cat made by my rad oldest daughter.

It's AWP Week! 😬 I've got lots on: An offside reading/irl submission window & open mic pitch party, a big booth with author signings, cool raffle prizes, a display for my own book(!), yummy treats, and more. Please pop over on Wednesday night and/or during Bookfair from Thursday through Saturday!

Reading at this @stanchion.bsky.social event tonight. Come and hear my tale about a movie slasher struggling with his own mortality! #awp26

As y'all head off to #awp26, I am calculating our author royalties. I cannot stress this enough - buy small press books directly from publishers. It's the way everyone makes the most money and art can continue to happen!

Honored to have a new story in @bulbregion.bsky.social. It's about a van. Check it out if you wanna. 🚐

just sayin' if i see you carrying my book @ AWP i am going to stop you and hug you
