August 9th, 2023 I blinked and, whoa, tonight was over! I met a lady this afternoon who wondered aloud if she was meeting a future famous best-seller, and this is the part of the post where I get saccharine like cotton candy and tell the people who have been supporting me this whole time —Continue reading “Brushfire: Wave 2 Officially Sets Sail!”

“Faribault famous”
August 2nd, 2023 I did a neat thing last week and it’s out today: the Faribault Daily News published a feature on me + my life + my work! You can check it out on their website at faribault dot com and of course I have some behind-the-scenes tea for you! – Pam and IContinue reading ““Faribault famous””
The Words I Needed Then
July 31st, 2023 Today is the last day of Brushfire month, which means I can shut up about it for a little while now. I tell people that I don’t write for an audience, and that is generally true; I don’t sit down and think of a target person, their age or gender or preferencesContinue reading “The Words I Needed Then”
Brushfire Release Party 2: Electric Boogaloo!
July 30th, 2023 I had a truly amazing time yesterday at the first-ever 1850 pop-up; I just want to thank every single soul who stopped by and made my day, and a special thanks to Cori and Dane for knocking their debut event in this space out of the park. Now, if you didn’t makeContinue reading “Brushfire Release Party 2: Electric Boogaloo!”
Brushfire: We Don’t Decide Who It’s For
July 27th, 2023 The best (online) conversation I ever had about my graphic novel The Weirdos was with a fellow dad who let his 13-year-old read it. (The dad and his kid shall remain nameless out of respect for our private conversation, but they are two of the coolest cats I know.) My immediate reactionContinue reading “Brushfire: We Don’t Decide Who It’s For”
Brushfire: Definitely More (Unnecessarily More) Than You Thought It Was About
July 26th, 2023 I’ve been working on Brushfire for over half a decade, and two-thirds of it is out in the wild for people to pick up and read, yet I still have a hard time explaining to people what it’s all about. I usually mention that Brushfire itself is an underground community of wildlife,Continue reading “Brushfire: Definitely More (Unnecessarily More) Than You Thought It Was About”

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!). If you don’t know the mission statementContinue reading “SKP 2023: Brushfire”
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”
