Im so thrilled you enjoyed it! And since writing is often a solitary endeavor, I have two dogs snoozing at my feet. It definitely makes life better. 🐕🇮🇹

Pamela Anderson debuts dramatic copper hairstyle to acclaim capping off year-long comeback, while Pam Bondi beclowns herself in congressional oversight hearing which in a just world would be career-ending. Mixed week for Pams.

I would LOVE to come to Toronto one day! Hopefully we can make it work. (Or, you know, MOVE to Toronto the way things are crumbling here. 🇨🇦)

I love this so much and you absolutely MUST see The Sound of Music now. (I believe it’s streaming on Hulu.) This year is the film’s 60th anniversary and it’s as incredible as ever! Thank you for taking this trip abroad with me. 🙂

This week marks ten years since I signed with my wonderful agent after years of countless rejections. I wasn’t sure publishing was meant for me. Five books later, THREE of them are on this week’s USA Today Bestseller List. What a journey. Dreams can and do come true! KEEP GOING.

I’m at the point in my new manuscript where it made sense to drive three hours away from it and take in the ocean air as if I have a Victorian disease. #AmWriting

Thank you so much! Writing a sequel is daunting — you don’t want to interfere with any goodwill readers have for the original. I’m so glad you enjoyed this as much if not more.

Steven Rowley @stevenrowley.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Thank you for reading! It’s daunting writing a sequel — you don’t want to interfere with any goodwill for the original or diminish its memory in readers’ minds. I’m thrilled in this case the sequel lived up to expectations!

Steven Rowley @stevenrowley.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Thank YOU for reading. I’m so thrilled you’re enjoying the listen. And hope you enjoy your trip abroad just as much!

It means so much to know readers love these characters as much as I do. But it sounds like I owe you some sleep. Haha. 😴

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway adventure! My sister Laura is in town and we spent the day hiking atop Mount San Jacinto, where the temperature hovered around 40°. 🥶Patrick had the same adventure with Maisie and Grant in The Guncle, although in summer when it was slightly warmer. 🚠

Doing my best to drown out the noise — at least long enough to sleep. 😴

Sometimes you love a writer so much you name-check them in your novel, and sometimes (thank you, Shawn!) they get a copy of your novel and send you a photo. I would not be the writer I am today without having read this man’s extensive work. RIP Christopher Durang. Thank you for your many gifts.

I got 99 problems, but this man ain’t one. Happy 99th birthday to Jimmy Carter, perhaps the greatest person to hold the office of president in my lifetime.

In a stunning turn of events, this will be the first time a former US President has been indicted since *checks notes* oh last week.

WHAM! on Netflix is not a perfect documentary — I would have liked more focus on the music and its context within the early 80s musical scene. But what remains is a beautiful portrait of friendship. I miss George Michael always, and Andrew Ridgely is the best friend everyone deserves.

Steven Rowley @stevenrowley.bsky.social · 26/07/2023

The great Whoopi Goldberg on The Guncle: “It’s one of my favorite books and when I’m in a mood I go back to it because it makes me feel better. This is one of the best books you can read.” I have loved Whoopi since I first saw her in The Color Purple and to know that she is a fan of my work too is 🤯

Were we under the impression this was a documentary?
