You know what they say, don’t meet your heroes. Unless your heroes are rad. Then get a beer with them at a dive bar in Phoenix.

I cried just reading the history. Don’t ask what the book always does to me!

Learning about the “good deal!” and “nice deal!” and “oh, very nice deal!” and “wow, significant deal!” phrasing in Publisher’s Marketplace, and it is both objectively hilarious and gross

I was floored to receive such a generous blurb from a writer I've long admired. Mary Miller's work - stories in particular -are some of the stories that got me into writing short fiction all those years ago. ASK ME ABOUT THE MONEY is out on Nov 3. Preorders are available wherever books are sold.

Learned mine will be the last story in The Feathertale Review’s final issue. I published my first story there in 2010 and became a Writer-at-Large shortly after. Since then, it’s published a bunch of my stories, won a couple Canadian National Magazine Awards, and it’s been a helluva ride.

"So we throw out other people’s recognition. What’s left for us to prize? I think it’s this: to do (and not do) what we were designed for. That’s the goal of all trades, all arts, and what each of them aims at: that the thing they create should do what it was designed to do.” —Marcus Aurelius

some very nice people said some very nice things about something I made that’s coming out next week ⚡️ @jonathanin2k.bsky.social @keersteemack.bsky.social @juscarts.com @bruisermag.com

"John Waddy Bullion could've submitted this as a dissertation on the history of electricity. Instead, he wires something uncontainable into our nerves, our veins, the marrow of our bones, each turn of the page rattling our teeth looser, our hair , catching fire."
Jonathan Danielson-
author of The Lowest Basin: Arizona Stories

"Bullion at his best: a balancing act of breezy humor and horrid brutality, blending history, pop culture, and capital punishment into a single narrative.
Bullion doesn't just throw the switch. He lights
'em the fuck up."
Kirsti MacKenzie
author of Better to Beg

"There's no writer better equipped to trace the etymology of
"electrocution" like Bullion, whose work always veers into the most electrifying spaces, the most surprising worlds."
Justin Carter
author of Brazos

Had the opportunity to speak with ASU’s undergraduate advanced fiction workshop today. I remember the speakers I had in my workshops when I was an undergrad at ASU, so it was a total full circle moment.
