January 7th, 2026 Goddamn it. I try to be a voice of reason and sense, of kindness and decency for the people in my life who are close to me; but what happened today, and what has been happening in this country for years under the watch and thumb of the man responsible for thisContinue reading “I Was A Human”

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”

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”
Mark Your Calendars!
August 18th, 2025 It’s getting real. Maple Island, my 14th book, will be officially released this November.

I’m going to be doing things a little differently this time;Continue reading “Mark Your Calendars!”
Liberty & Justice
August 8th, 2025 This afternoon, I was doing my routine paid eavesdropping (you have no idea how much we know about you from the tea you spill freely and sloppily at your favorite establishments, but I will tell you right now, it’s more than you think). I generally hear clips and phrases out of context,Continue reading “Liberty & Justice”
Leaving Me Here On My Own
July 28th, 2025 I finished my summer Ethics course this week, and to wrap it up we had to film a short video about what we learned. I feel so strongly about taking this class that I wanted to share it with you, too. Feel free to respectfully debate me anytime. “I had a fantasticContinue reading “Leaving Me Here On My Own”
Book Fair For Grown-Ups 2025
July 12th, 2025 So: the Book Fair For Grown-Ups by Inbound Brewing Co. happened today at the State Fair Education Building after going viral last year at their brewery. I thought it was such a neat idea and signed up immediately. Now: I do a lot of events. My expectations are always as follows: IContinue reading “Book Fair For Grown-Ups 2025”
America’s Shadow
June 11th, 2025 Let’s talk about immigration real quick. “Real quick” because I know how short your attention span is and I’ve been thinking about this so much lately that I can probably share in a few words. We can chat about the complex reasons citizens of a country feel the way they do aboutContinue reading “America’s Shadow”
Comments on the Comment Section
June 9th, 2025 The internet has done a really good job of making us feel really bad about the state of society and I’m going to try to simplify why while offering, I hope, a little sip of hope. There is one undeniable fact about any comment section on any social media page: It lowersContinue reading “Comments on the Comment Section”
