Man, this is crushing. I'm so sorry. He was such a great person and I know he felt the same about you.

When I read this quote I think of him and all the times we've talked. I'm gonna miss him. Love you, man.

Sheldon was one of the most kindest and supportive people I have ever met. He has built me back up more times than I can count. He was/is one of the great icons of Appalachian writing. He was a phenomenal teacher. But, above all, he was an even better friend.

Off to the races with @jordanharper.bsky.social's latest. One chapter in and already hooked. I'd be hard pressed to name another author who sets a mood/vibe as fast as Jordan. In @netgalley.bsky.social we trust!

Started reading Stewart O'Nan's The Night Country while camping with the family. So far, this is easily the best Fall/Halloween reading experience ever.

It was a pleasure writing something for an anthology edited by @curtisippolito.bsky.social - even more so that it was picked for publication. I wrote it from a place of anger because this is something worth being angry for. I hope you get a copy TODAY and see the amazing work Curtis cultivated here!

Working my way through @cwblackwell.bsky.social's collection WHATEVER KILLS THE PAIN. He was already one of my favorite writers, but I think this might be his masterwork. Well, until his next book and I say the same thing. Super stoked to see what is next for this guy!

"What's gone is gone. Real fairy tales end in the gutter. No amount of trying to live regular can bring back the fireworks." Absolutely loving @wmboyle4.bsky.social's latest. True masterwork. Haven't cared about characters this much since Dan and Allison in NORTHLINE.

@danrussell.bsky.social is one of my favorite southern writers. I've read POOR BIRDS, and yes, it is phenomenal. Most importantly it's a testament to the power of indie lit. Proud of @danrussell.bsky.social and @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social for putting out such important work!
