I was in Tulsa today scouting venues for training, and stopped at libraries. The staff was surprised and were eager to engage. They bought extra copies of my debut.

Oh, my novel was selected for One Book, One Tulsa starting this summer.

And the excitement is already a buzz! 🎉

I love reading books because it gives me an opportunity to find a common humanity. Like when I sit down to write, I read to find a deeper sense of myself among the pages.

Boy we greezed hard at Rocky Mountain Taco. I had a burrito with carne asada. Such a unique local spot in Minturn, CO. The owner was awesome and took a photo w us. Big wado to Emily Boyd from Authors Unbound Agency for the recommendation.

You have to visit Vail, Colorado! And when you do, stop by The Bookworm. It’s filled with great books and warm book people. 📚

I feel like I should give folks more grace. I’m learning.

First day in Vail, CO and I ate duck for the first time and my hotel suite has two bedrooms, two full baths, a full kitchen, dinning room, living room, and patio. It’s been a blast hanging with kind book folks in a beautiful town. Now I’m both tired and grateful at the same time.

Whoa! I made it to Vail, y’all. And look what was waiting for me. 😎🧡💯📚🙏🏽

It’s important to learn how to not let one racist incident ruin an entire trip. I just wish folks wouldn’t feel so threatened by my existence. They may wish me harm but I only want the best for them.

I just pulled this out of my pocket. A Kiowa/Apache pah’be came to the reading tonight and asked me, “Are you going to have a blanket dance tonight?,” and reached out to shake my hand. I felt the honor touch my palm and slid into my pocket without looking. Many ah’hos, pobs. 🙏🏽

I had a great time at Colorado State University Pueblo this evening. Now it’s time to bust some face. Haw!

Loving the CSU campus! I’m getting ready to talk to students. It’s great to be back in Colorado!

Join us for an event with the incomparable Oscar Hokeah tonight!

It seems like a great day to honor one of my favorite fictional characters: Gimple the Fool.

Wado, I.B. Singer.
