Very much looking forward to chilling with Joey and talking comedy and horror. ICYMI, I wrote the foreword for this awesome book he’s putting out. Seeing his release-day comedy show, too, up in LA the night before at the Elysian Theater.

This was a real fun one. Bookstr asked me and three other editors about the process of creating anthologies. Maybe someday I can edit my dream anthology I describe at the end of the article… bookstr.com/article/4-ed...

Did you know Eden Robinson has an epic fantasy novel coming out later this month? THE SORCERESS OF SKY SERPENTS hits shelves September 29th and feels like an Indigenous Game of Thrones. Grateful to have read it early for a blurb! Preorder it today and tell your local library to order copies too.

We Natives know all too well about broken promises, how signed treaties are a “treat” only for the colonizers. They were presented as mutually beneficial for the nascent fed government and Native Nations but were constantly disregarded or favored the Others.

Did you know in Stephen King's novel, THE SHINING, the Torrance family lives in an apartment on Arapahoe St?

Did you know my ancestors hunted buffalo on the land the original Stanley Hotel is built in Colorado?

Did you know I have a story coming out in Jamie Flanagan's VIEWS FROM THE OVERLOOK horror anthology next summer?

Did you know I'm the only Arapaho writer to ever write in King's Macroverse?

My short story is titled "Heritage Night," and I can't wait for you to read it. Hohóu.
