Remember snow? Well, it's my weekly remind for you to get your copy of Cellar, or read your copy of Cellar, or review your copy of Cellar. It's been out for about four months now!

bookshop.org/p/books/brot... I don't promote my novel much anymore. It's three years old now. But, it is on backorder at Bookshop and that makes me sad (widely available elsewhere). If you've thought about getting it, I'd love if you could order it at the link. Really want to get it back in stock!

“She says a door is touched so often that it holds the heat of all those hands and passing bodies, that it’s practically a living thing.” Miranda Manzano’s sophisticated story is a master class on story arc. See how delicate movement builds this tender story. splitlipthemag.com/fiction/0626...

I saw goody proctor dancing at patricia’s sunset cocktails

don’t touch that, it’s the book I like to keep waiting in my lap while I scroll on my phone & then immediately regret not just reading the book instead

“wow you should make your short story a novel. then a movie” now I’m going to make it a micro

been blasting my sad songs playlist while writing this week so sorry to all my fiction. get in losers, we’re longing

an escape room but it’s just a quiet little cottage with a typewriter & no internet access & you don’t leave until your entire book has been written

so tired & out of it that I just started typing one of my passcodes for the microwave cook time
