Got this delightful surprise yesterday - an exceedingly kind review from the great mind of M. C. Armstrong. "Johnson’s memoir brilliantly straddles the fence between the starry-eyed marketing of Mortenson and the chilly exposé of Krakauer." THANK YOU!!

The illustrious Time Now!!! Thanks so much for reading, Peter. I'm excited to check out Mayhem337 CMR 🇺🇸's work for a complimentary P2K perspective. Maybe we should market our books together: The Fine Art of Mayhem, perhaps? Or 337 Shades of Camouflage?

New book out! I'd love to read ya just a little and chat about books for less than an hour. I'll be reading from the I-25 highway median, shouting over the traffic. Just kidding. I'll be reading from my apartment. Would love if you dropped in. Please register :)

"X-Men meets Battlestar Galactica, yet wholly original, Changelings: Insurgence is a meditation on progress, knowledge, duty, love, loyalty, and, above all, what it means to be human. Urgent and heartfelt, and a gripping ride." - Me! Congrats Liam Corley on an epic debut!

After several years where my most strenuous workout has been toddler wrangling, I went swimming this morning. It wasn't pretty, but it happened! P.S. Apparently I never use my armpit muscles anymore?? Holy crap.
