December 15th, 2024 Last night, I submitted my last project of the semester. I just did a semester of college! That’s one down, this time around. So: what did I learn? Turns out: a hell of a lot. College did not radicalize me, or even re-radicalize me. I have actually been rad most of myContinue reading “Semester I”

VII: The Phoenix
December 9th, 2024 Seven years ago today, I flamed out. My throat opened and drained the tiny bottle of sauvignon blanc from the trunk of my car and I decided it would be the last drink I would ever have. For then. For now. I don’t have to get into the rest in detail (itContinue reading “VII: The Phoenix”
Knife-work
November 19th, 2024 I work in an industry where people often complain on both sides of the table, and live in a world where that’s true at least a hundred times more, but I had two experiences last week in that work, in this world, that were wonderful, and I’m just going to write aboutContinue reading “Knife-work”
Maple Island Announcement
November 13th, 2024 11.07.25. Find yourself in the sexy, violent, scary, and impossibly kind world of the Dampers, a group of vampires who make the decision every day to not feed on human beings. When one of them is murdered, the simmering tension in their vampiric community is turned up to an unbearable boil, spillingContinue reading “Maple Island Announcement”
Veggie Tale
November 12th, 2024 Do you want to hear something super annoying? I’ve been a vegetarian for a week. Am I going to try to convince you to join me? Heck no. Do I still want to talk about it? You bet. Here’s what happened. You all know I love animals. So dang much. I gotContinue reading “Veggie Tale”
C is for Community
November 11th, 2024 What the A.A. program and hanging out with other writers has taught me about the core of any good community, and how we could use those lessons to work together (even if we don’t agree with one another).
Twin Cities Con 2024
November 10th, 2024 It’s been said by people way smarter than I am that we should “find community” this week and be with each other. Twin Cities Con couldn’t have happened at a better time. (A special thank you to the peerless TCC gang who make this show one of my favorite weekends of theContinue reading “Twin Cities Con 2024”
It’s TCC Time!
November 7th, 2024 I can’t believe it’s here, but this weekend is the fourth annual Twin Cities Con at the Minneapolis Convention Center! I have a table (you’ll find me at G7 in artist’s alley), I’ll have my books and what’s left of my indomitable spirit, and I’ll be doing two panels, one each onContinue reading “It’s TCC Time!”
Bye Bye Bye
November 6th, 2024 Oh, boy. Woof. After a tumultuous few days (though, let’s be honest, it’s really been years), starting tomorrow I will be blocking specific people from my social media accounts. It’s not a small amount. Before I do that, however, I want to explain myself and give you a chance to read it.Continue reading “Bye Bye Bye”
