I have a new story out in Grit Quarterly

No, I am!

Honesty hour: I bought this mostly for the cover and then the book ended up being great

Read Poor Birds on a trip. Read Poor Birds on a beach. Read Poor Birds in the back garden then tell your peeps!

Dry The Rain - out later this year from Richard Leise Picket Fire Press. Rich is one of the most thoughtful writers working and this book is beautiful and dark and funny and horrifying. Glad I could read this early.

Go get Dan Russell’s book from Cowboy Jamboree Press. Dan is killing it and this book will tear you up.

Got a new headshot to show off how bad I am at opening my eyes

Excited to read but first - this cover, both visually and tactilely, is incredible Lucas Schaefer

my third novel BROILER is an Amazon Editors Pick, a Great Group Reads selection, and a nominee for the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award oh, and it’s also out in paperback TODAY penguinrandomhouse.com/books/743692/b…

Some ARCs are now out and about, I believe. Thanks again for the kind words Joshua Trent Brown .... October is still a ways off, but that's a nice thing. Enjoying now. Looking forward to what next comes -

Really thank for Dan Russell for this copy of his new book POOR BIRDS. I've known Dan was going to publish since the first page I read of his work years ago. He's such a talented and, more importantly, kind person. I'm really happy for him and hope you all buy a copy.

This may seem dumb but seeing my publisher work through edits to my book ms is making me giddy
