April 28th, 2024 To celebrate my upcoming birthday (it’s not today, it’s Wednesday, May 1st, but you already knew that) I went out not once, but twice this weekend. On Friday, I found myself at the Fine Line to see Landon Conrath & friends, holding my own front row all night. The young energy hadContinue reading “Birthday Weekend”

soft
April 9th, 2024 It’s always curious to me when older people say that kids these days are soft. Isn’t that the point of modern society? Isn’t that the reason we evolve as a species? To let our children be softer, to encourage them to be kinder, to let them be a little gentler than theContinue reading “soft”
Let Go
March 15th, 2024 My fingers are locked tight around the steering wheel. I imagine all the ways this could go wrong at any moment, the reheated leftovers of PTSD, driving a formally stolen car that tried to kill me last year. I wonder if I can get fast enough that my car could lift upContinue reading “Let Go”
Fluke
March 11th, 2024 I can say without hyperbole that this book, Fluke, by Brian Klaas, is one of the best I’ve ever read. The problem with reviewing something is that you don’t want to spoil the thing for a potential reader, but you have to say enough to make them feel compelled to read it.Continue reading “Fluke”
Strange Love
January 9th, 2024 We have different definitions for what it is that makes us human, but mine is pretty simple.

There is a very,Continue reading “Strange Love”

A Dream of Tin & Eternity: They’ll Come True, Impossible Not To Do
December 21st, 2023 One of the taglines I used for A Dream… was: “The sequel to everything, real and imagined.” Anyone who read the book found out exactly what I meant: while I used most of the major characters I’ve introduced in my published stories over the past ten years, they shared the stage withContinue reading “A Dream of Tin & Eternity: They’ll Come True, Impossible Not To Do”
Fall Finale
November 5th, 2023 Fall Tour 2023 is… OVER. I want to give a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone to came out to the MCE show, the Theia book club, my writing class, and Twin Cities Con; you have been so supportive and have taught me so much this season. Conventions are a beautiful, brutalContinue reading “Fall Finale”
Oil Change
September 27th, 2023 “I may have been sober, but I didn’t start to get well until I could accept who I had been, who I was becoming and accept any distance there was between the two.” – Nadia Bolz-Weber I got my oil changed yesterday morning. They put a little sticker in the upper-left cornerContinue reading “Oil Change”
