Sunny Days of Rain
May 20th, 2022 Yesterday I went outside to pick up dinner. I could see the bright sun shining through the window before I left, so it was strange when I walked through the door and found that it was raining. For all the weather we get here, it felt like the most emotionally relatable. AllContinue reading “Sunny Days of Rain”
Hello There
May 17th, 2022 This doormat is a lesson. We saw it last week and fell in love with it. How could you not? It has one of the best breeds of baby on it, wearing sunglasses, borrowing Obi-Wan Kenobi’s most famous (and meme-able) phrase. We did not buy it. See, we live in a destructiveContinue reading “Hello There”
Cold World is Real
May 9th, 2022 Cold World is here. I made a video, duh, but if you prefer, I also transcribed the words for you to read. “Good morning, everybody! I’m Dennis, if you don’t know who I am, now we’re friends. I’m making this video because today I received my shipments of my new book, myContinue reading “Cold World is Real”
TRUE lies
May 8th, 2022 My mom said lies that she would make true. For example, she used to regularly tell me how nice my teeth are. Not just nice, but how I had the whitest, straightest, most astonishing teeth that she had ever seen in her entire life. Most of you have seen my teeth. TheyContinue reading “TRUE lies”
Good Time
May 1st, 2022 It’s my birthday today. I put on the calendar “write something heart-wrenching, soul-baring, way too much, you know, like you used to” and who am I to argue with the calendar? Living with the problem of addiction means I will always be hungry for more. This remains true in the case ofContinue reading “Good Time”
Cold World = Complete
April 28th, 2022 Cold World is finished. In the early morning, I locked the final draft, and it is currently in production in two printing facilities and will start existence as a real book in just a few weeks. Whew. This is my view when I create something, my editing partner who reminds me toContinue reading “Cold World = Complete”
I’m sorry I can’t be… PERFECT.
April 25th, 2022 It turns out I’m not perfect. It’s my birthday week, so this is usually the time of year I remind people that if they want to send a free gift, leaving a review (or six, I have a lot of books) on a site like Amazon is a big deal to me.Continue reading “I’m sorry I can’t be… PERFECT.”
Cold World Release Party!
April 23rd, 2022 I have percolated news to share! On June 4th, I’ll be having my Cold World release party at none other than the premiere coffee company in Faribault, Mighty Fine Coffee! Two things you need to know about Mighty Fine: 1. Their coffee is jaw-droppingly good (and I’m not only saying that becauseContinue reading “Cold World Release Party!”
Ain’t No Party Like a Faribault Party
April 20th, 2022 Attention, citizens of Faribault! (Faribaultians?) I made the realization that, though I consider myself from Faribault and have set most of my stories in or around Faribault, I’ve never actually had a release party for one of my books down there. Let’s change that! If you or someone you know owns aContinue reading “Ain’t No Party Like a Faribault Party”
