When a fan paints you a painting based on your book and drives hours to give it to you. BIG FEELINGS. Thank you, April. It's going on my writing room wall as soon as I'm home.

You can love yourself and still desire to change. I love my garden, but I plant new things constantly. My love doesn't require immutability.

I'm starting work on Pawnshop Paladin (Adam Binder 6) with coffee in hand and cat by my side. I'm feeling so grateful that I get to do this everyday. Thank you, everyone who has read my books, reviewed them, or told anyone about them.

Last night, at the Colorado Book Awards, the woman next to me asked if I use AI to write my books. I don't think she was ready for the rant her question unleashed.

Long before you knew me, I was a poet. It's what brought me to Colorado. It's not a voice I use much anymore, but last night provided some inspiration:

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

Authors and Book People... I've decided I want to take my popular graphic novel and webcomic series "The Dreamland Chronicles" and turn it into a prose novel. I've written the first 20 something pages (or 7,000 words) and I'm liking it. 1/4

This was such a great podcast! It reminded me so much of when LaVar Burton said that the arts and humanities are our vessel for context. Encourage kids to read. And Reading Rainbow is still relevant. Just saying. 🌈📖😊 #reading #literacy #kidsbooks #yabooks

I'm officially in crunch time for Last Dawn of the Sun. Today is a polish day, where instead of principle writing I'll spend the day editing and expanding the last six chapters I've written. This is usually a weekend activity but I got really into the sequence I was writing so I put it off.

I got this finished up! :) It was done with watercolors, gouache, acrylic ink and walnut ink.

A watercolor painting of a skeleton wearing very thick and flowing and draping robes with a hood. It is very gently embracing a human figure, who presses their head against the skeleton's chest and shoulder area as though seeking comfort.

this sentiment is definitely applicable here

tumblr post by nurseleonedeactivated-deactivat

i think ppl would be a lot happier and better-adjusted on here if they realized that being online on a website is like being in any other casual public space full of people. if u walk into walmart u dont immediately think to yourself “i have to be friends with everyone in this walmart and if not everyone likes me i’m a failure” and u really shouldn’t feel that way online either. likewise if there’s a guy in the walmart parking lot shouting obscenities u probably wouldn’t answer him and that’s literally an exact equivalent to some of the weird stuff that people on here seem to feel they’re obligated to respond to.
