Sip & Shop @ Gary’s Supper Club

November 14th, 2025 I could not be more excited for this unexpected late development: after years of working the Sip & Shop brunch events at Gary’s Supper Club, I’m finally sitting behind a table with my books at one! These events are always full of energy and fun (and cinnamon rolls and mimosas, if that’sContinue reading “Sip & Shop @ Gary’s Supper Club”

Twin Cities Con 2025

November 9th, 2025 Wow. I know I go on and on about how much I adore this community, but it’s only because this community has so much to adore. What a surprising and delightful, thrilling and exhausting weekend. My eyes, mind and nervous system are shut down for repairs as I type this letter toContinue reading “Twin Cities Con 2025”

Maple Island: Out Now

November 7th, 2025 My 14th book, Maple Island, is out today. I am a lot of things right now (see the video) but, above all, I am grateful. P.S. See you all at Twin Cities Con this weekend and please please please watch the wonderful podcast I did with my friends, linked below.

We Shine Together

November 5th, 2025 I don’t know if I’ve ever been this stressed out in my life.

Notes on an Island

October 25th, 2025 Signed paperback editions of Maple Island have been shipped to everyone who loves me the most, who ordered the book sight unseen during the presale, some of whom have been supporting me and my art for decades (go ahead and brag in the comments how long you’ve been here). I would likeContinue reading “Notes on an Island”

Maple Island: Official Playlist

October 20th, 2025 If you know anything about me, you know how much music means to me. When I’m not making it, I’m listening to it, talking about it, sharing it, obsessing over it, consuming it whole. It inspires and infects everything I do. That includes my books. (This goes back to my very firstContinue reading “Maple Island: Official Playlist”

Just Can’t

October 16th, 2025 It’s been five whole years today. I just can’t. I’m doing totally normal things to cope: keeping myself so entirely busy with school and clubs and work and my writing career that I see “burnt out” tiny in my rear view mirror, now that I’m several towns past. When we lose someone,Continue reading “Just Can’t”

Fallcon 2025

October 11th, 2025 “I love this community so much.” I lost count of how many times I heard people say this over the weekend, but what’s one more: I love this community so much. Thank you for having lunch with me, for inventing candy tea with me, for talking Alien and Dune and Tron withContinue reading “Fallcon 2025”
