A Serious Man
February 16th, 2024 We have the best access to all the information from all of human history and, according to recent studies, less comprehension of it than ever before. This is a unique era of humanity; not because, generally, we have lost all sense of context, trust, and grace, but because it has never beenContinue reading “A Serious Man”
State of Grace
February 12th, 2024 Am I going to comment on Travis Kelce today? You bet I am. Because if there’s one thing I love to do, it’s challenge the rotting hive mind of the rabid mob we know as the internet. I saw the moment last night. Travis comes in hot, taking his coach, 65-year-old AndyContinue reading “State of Grace”
New Era
February 6th, 2024 omg. My paperback copies of Sunny Days of Rain arrived today, and I was not joking about its size. My last essay collection was a slim 451 pages, compared to this 824-page giant-sized behemoth. If you would have told me back in 2017 that there would be over 1,200 printed pages ofContinue reading “New Era”
Sunny Days of Rain
January 31st, 2024 What kind of psycho announces and then drops a new book on the same day? It’s me. I’m the psycho. Sunny Days of Rain, my twelfth book and second essay collection, is out now. This video gives you all the information (and affirmations) you need, but I did write a few quickContinue reading “Sunny Days of Rain”
Strange Love
January 9th, 2024 We have different definitions for what it is that makes us human, but mine is pretty simple. Humans have the ability to protect those who are the most vulnerable, and know how noble and sweet it is to care for, shelter, and serve those who need us most. There is a very,Continue reading “Strange Love”
The Key
December 28th, 2023 A year ago this week, I announced — in celebration of a decade publishing books and comics, and twenty years of making music as The Next Step — that I would be focusing on a different Sleeping Kitty Productions project every month for all of 2023, taking you behind the scenes andContinue reading “The Key”
Lefse
December 23rd, 2023 No matter where I turn, I can’t escape the refrain, delivered with a deep sigh: “It doesn’t feel like Christmas this year.” I try to empathize with the observer; I attempt to comfort them by telling them that it’s just the weather. It’s the rain. It’s the lack of snow. It’s theContinue reading “Lefse”
A Dream of Tin & Eternity: They’ll Come True, Impossible Not To Do
December 21st, 2023 One of the taglines I used for A Dream… was: “The sequel to everything, real and imagined.” Anyone who read the book found out exactly what I meant: while I used most of the major characters I’ve introduced in my published stories over the past ten years, they shared the stage withContinue reading “A Dream of Tin & Eternity: They’ll Come True, Impossible Not To Do”
Best of 2023
December 17th, 2023 Lists are so stupid. I know it. Shut up. And I adore them so much. There is nothing that will stop my scrolling like a good (or bad) list. I love learning what people love; it’s always been a weird hobby of mine. With that being said, here’s a few lists fromContinue reading “Best of 2023”
