July 1st, 2023 Happy July, squirrels! This month is (and in my heart always will be) Brushfire month. Not only will we be spending some sweet time spilling tea on the wildlife of the Burrow, but Wave 2 officially drops in just a few days (July 4th, 2023!).

Cold World: Building a house you can live in as is, with doors and stairways to expand up, down, or sideways
June 30th, 2023 Everything about Cold World was, for me, too big to contain in one story — whether I ever decide to write any of those other stories or not. I knew that I wanted to tell a complete, specific tale: this chapter of Calef’s life as he explores the power of understanding, throughContinue reading “Cold World: Building a house you can live in as is, with doors and stairways to expand up, down, or sideways”

Cold World: Creating the (Snow) Cover
June 26th, 2023 My writing life has been a mostly lonely one. I’ve written about my longing for more collaboration before (and my lack of true mentorship); an unfortunate personal lesson I’ve duly taken to my tiny, black heart is, at the end of the day, I am the only person I can rely onContinue reading “Cold World: Creating the (Snow) Cover”
Untitled
June 25th, 2023 Seeing people so unabashedly, recklessly happy has filled my insides. I would love to do something weird and thank everyone who went to Twin Cities Pride and Taylor Swift this weekend. Through the magic of being human, your joy has been a highlight of my summer; you are all a Bomb PopContinue reading “Untitled”
Cold World: Communication & Understanding
June 20th, 2023 I was working at my first adult serving job when a woman sat down in my section and radically changed my perspective on people. Applebee’s was the catalyst for this revelation. See, I worked at Chili’s. And this woman wanted — nay, was compelled — to tell me about a terrible restaurantContinue reading “Cold World: Communication & Understanding”
Happy Release Day to Mad Uncle McGillicuddy!
June 17th, 2023 I am beyond thrilled to be able to wish my pal Shaun Thibodeau a very happy Book Release Day today! I am so proud of him and what he’s accomplished with his debut; he’s one of the kindest dudes I know, which makes complimenting him as an immensely talented writer so easy.Continue reading “Happy Release Day to Mad Uncle McGillicuddy!”
Cold World: Faith & Spirituality
June 16th, 2023 “It’s not that I don’t believe in anything. I just haven’t found the thing that makes sense to me yet.” That’s how I usually answer the question of whether I’m religious or believe in God. The formal term is agnostic; I learned that the difference between being agnostic or atheist is thatContinue reading “Cold World: Faith & Spirituality”
Cold World: Loss & Grief
June 14th, 2023 Cold World was the first time I explored the loss of my mom in fiction. I do it here, on the internet, all the time. Your responses to that type of writing has ranged from “this is exactly how I feel, thank you for writing this” to “this makes me very uncomfortable,”Continue reading “Cold World: Loss & Grief”
