My sister is also a writer. I made a chart to compare our books.

I wasn't sure that this book would enter the world. To make it happen, I had to be all things people hate women to be. Assertive (aggressive, pushy). Persistent (whiny, complainy). Ambitious, hungry (greedy, unsatisfied). (A regular bitch.) Onward. I have more writing to do and more people to annoy.

Three finished copies of my new novel, A Complete Fiction, fanned out on a speckled surface.

SCAM ALERT Sadly, Richard Powers doesn’t want to be my pen pal, but I’m considering being the pen pal of this scammer because they know just what to say to a girl.

Email purporting to be from Richard Powers, that is not from him, praising my books and saying he wants to connect with me.

My good-natured publicist, @iammblankenship.bsky.social, and me taking deep breaths when we realized it's only three months to pub date for A Complete Fiction. "It's going to be all right," she said, doubtfully. @igpublishing.bsky.social

You’d be smiling, too, if you were wearing this adorable hat AND had supported one of your favorite literary magazines. Get one of your own from @electricliterature.com. Link in comment. H/T (pun intended!) Courtney Maum

So many talents, so little time. Thanks for all the art, Marcia Butler.

Excited to announce that my bookmarks are going into a second printing! The publisher (vistaprint) is thrilled, too! Drop a comment if you'd like a set.

Cover reveal. @bookshop-org.bsky.social is selling pre-orders of the trade paperback of A Complete Fiction at a discount, and I pre-ordered my own damn book to make sure the link was working. It is. Can't wait to read it. Pre-order here: bookshop.org/p/books/a-co...

Bright and sunny with highs in the thirties. The kind of day when the elusive snow people like to gather though I caught this group earlier in the year. #colorado

Episode 1 in How To Make a Marriage Work: Me, to my husband as he leaves for Trader Joe's: Bring me home flowers. Also me, when he returns: Oh my gosh, what a lovely surprise. Thank you!

It's never an easy road getting to this place. This book received a lot of rejections until I took it back and rewrote it. I'm a better writer for it and the book is a better book. Comes out Nov. 4 of this year. I hope you all like it.

Hope springs eternal. I didn't put on my fuzzy pants (lined pants that weigh about 50 pounds) today, then checked the weather. Still 🥶 10 degrees.
