December 12th, 2023 On Saturday, I celebrated a sobriety milestone, but it was also another anniversary: I released A Dream of Tin & Eternity exactly a year ago, on December 9th, 2022. I joked (kind of) that I wanted December 9th to be more than just a reminder of what a piece of shit IContinue reading “A Dream of Tin & Eternity: Change, or Die”

SKP 2023: A Dream of Tin & Eternity
December 1st, 2023 “Imagine that all of my books are ski hills,” I’ve said to hundreds of curious readers, intrigued by the silver & orange, candy cane cover of A Dream of Tin & Eternity. “This one is my double black diamond.” I wanted to write something to celebrate ten years of publishing; a storyContinue reading “SKP 2023: A Dream of Tin & Eternity”
Push: But you really need to listen to me, because I’m telling you the truth, I mean this, I’m okay! (Trust me.)
November 28th, 2023 “I am not fine. I don’t know how to tell people that, but I’m not. I also don’t see the benefit in being honest about it, because I don’t see a way that it will help me feel fine. If everyone knew how to feel that way, then we just would, wouldn’tContinue reading “Push: But you really need to listen to me, because I’m telling you the truth, I mean this, I’m okay! (Trust me.)”

Push: The Book (and Boy) That Almost Wasn’t
November 17th, 2023 When my novella Flip came out, it got nice reviews and people generally liked it. So much so that, less than a year later, in 2014, I announced a sequel called Push. Wait, 2014? Didn’t Push come out in 2021? It sure did, people of the future. The idea I had thenContinue reading “Push: The Book (and Boy) That Almost Wasn’t”

SKP 2023: Push
November 2nd, 2023 I have a few stories that took a long time to jump from idea to reality, but this book may have waited the longest. The demand for a sequel to Flip was immediate, and I went so far as to announce and name it back in 2014. I had a rad ideaContinue reading “SKP 2023: Push”
School’s Out!
November 1st, 2023 I learned more than I taught in my first Writing Class and I have these wonderful writers to thank. We’re missing three more (they had unfortunate or unexpected events arise, and were deeply missed!), but this group was so special and I couldn’t have asked for more compassionate and understanding, generous andContinue reading “School’s Out!”
Flip: National Novel Writing Month
October 30th, 2023 It’s the end of October, and I have just one essay about Flip left for you. Psych. The last one was the last one. See, I’ve been hard at work on my writing class (omg, it’s this Wednesday!), and the third act is all about National Novel Writing Month; I tell theContinue reading “Flip: National Novel Writing Month”
Flip: I Got Dosed By You
October 28th, 2023 I always talk about knowing how a story ends before I start writing it, and of course this story ends the way all our stories end, with loss. It’s funny that we don’t talk about loss as much as we should, because it’s always a good time to talk about loss. WhenContinue reading “Flip: I Got Dosed By You”
