February 14th, 2022 I feel like today is a good day to talk about vulnerability. Because I feel like every day is a good day to talk about vulnerability. I can’t even count the amount of people who have been reading my posts all these years and then ask me some variation of: “When isContinue reading “The Song That Never Ends”

Cold World: Official Playlist
February 14th, 2022 June (and summer) feels so far away, so I can understand if your wait for my new book, Cold World, seems cruel. In the meantime, I’ll try to talk about what’s going on behind the scenes, which includes sharing fun stuff like this playlist that is both inspired by and inspiring theContinue reading “Cold World: Official Playlist”
Suggestion Box
February 10, 2022 My dog Marvel and I are working on stuff, and we would love your input; we want to hear your thoughts and suggestions! I’m putting together ideas for merchandise, both for purchase at my store/conventions, and for incentive gifts when people support my work. So what do you want to see?

February 2nd, 2022 Announcing: Cold World, a new novel, to be released on June 2nd, 2022. “In 2222, our Earth has changed in countless ways.

A Ton of Feathers
January 28th, 2022 When people leave you, they leave the things you can’t ask them, too. Sometimes those mysteries are big and heavy and revelatory. Sometimes they’re not. But they take up space in your mind just the same. I saw a lady in a coat today, in the parking lot before we opened ourContinue reading “A Ton of Feathers”
One Week Away!
January 26th, 2022 In just ONE WEEK from today, I’ll be making an appearance at Labyrinth Puzzle Rooms in Lakeville from 4 to 8 pm, to talk about and sell my work, and to announce my next novel! On top of the announcement of the title and release date of my upcoming book, I’ve createdContinue reading “One Week Away!”
What if God was (not) one of us?
January 23rd, 2022 I wrote a little last week about this book, “God Is Not One,” by Stephen Prothero, and now that I’m finished I could not recommend it more. Learning about all the things the world believes in makes you believe in the world more. The book is both expansive and intimate, covering theContinue reading “What if God was (not) one of us?”
Dennis Book Club
January 16th, 2022 Today, at work, some of my co-workers, organically, spontaneously, decided to choose one of my books and started a book club around it. It was one of the neatest, sweetest things I have ever, as a writer, watched unfold around me, and I literally did nothing to make it happen. But IContinue reading “Dennis Book Club”
My Covid Diary
January 14th, 2022 I just made it through my CDC-recommended quarantine. I think most of the people who have had covid (and talk about it) share their physical symptoms. Because of this one-dimensional barometer, you’ll find other people minimize what it is that happens when you’re infected. By that measure, I had sniffles and coughs.Continue reading “My Covid Diary”
An Evening w/ Dennis Vogen & Labyrinth Puzzle Rooms
January 7th, 2022 I was hinting at something fun yesterday, and I am so happy to announce it today: I’m doing a collaboration with an amazing local business in Lakeville, Labyrinth Puzzle Rooms! I met with them yesterday and they have the kindest and most radical idea: instead of their lobby being solely a placeContinue reading “An Evening w/ Dennis Vogen & Labyrinth Puzzle Rooms”
