I would be there today, but to be totally honest, it’s the first day of spring break and I miss my wife and kids after a week at AWP, and then a week playing catch up at work because of AWP

I’ll be at the Tucson Festival of Books tomorrow, Sunday, March 15, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, selling and signing books at the Indie Author Pavilion.

If you’re around, please stop by and say hello!

Okay, but do I NEED this shirt…?

Reading: The Lowest Basin by @jonathanin2k.bsky.social

Listening: North Woods by David Mason

Watching: If I Had Legs I’d Kick You

🥲🥲🥲

Hope you enjoy it!

There are so many hotels in Tucson that I am overwhelmed. Who will let me pitch a tent in their yard? Who will let me make a bonfire with the branches of a dead Mesquite that you’ve been meaning to haul away? Who will let me howl naked at the moon as the sun rises over the Rincon mountains and…

Probably should’ve looked for hotels in Tucson before the day before I’m supposed to go…😅😅😅

Thank you for letting me a small part of such a wonderful book!

It’s incredible how hard that hit and how obvious it should’ve been!

PS happy anniversary, Phoenix lights!

I was honestly hoping @malarkeybooks.bsky.social would’ve had one surprise advanced copy to sell at AWP and I would’ve been the lucky one to have bought it. Alas, no. So I wait haha

This Sunday, I’ll be signing and selling books at the Tucson Festival of Books from 10-1. If you’re around, I hope you’ll stop by!

The books coming out of @mooncitypress.bsky.social make me want to drop everything and move my family across the country and get another MFA just because

This is next Thursday. Short story "club" on zoom where whoever is interested logs in and we chat & rave about a story we all read.

This month I mixed it up and chose 3 stories from Brian Evenson.

Lemme know if you're interested, and I'll send you Zoom info (and also links to PDFs of the stories).

After Washington Post killed Book World, this critic says book reviews matter more than ever Earlier this year, the Washington Post announced the end of its books section, Book World. The announcement has prompted a series of follow-up articles about the state of criticism.

Thanks to @kjzz.org and @samdingman.bsky.social for having me on to talk about book reviewing in the wake of WaPo closing its books section: www.kjzz.org/the-show/202...

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it!

The Lower Basin by Jonathan Danielson

Mail days are the best days. Couldn't steal it from you in Baltimore, @jonathanin2k.bsky.social, so I bought it.

Arizona authors unite!

Come out all the days, obviously, but make sure you’re at the Northern Arizona Book Festival on Saturday, Aprill 11th at 3:30 pm for the “Arizona Authors” reading featuring me, Ted McLoof, Matthew Schmidt, Dana Diehl, and Julie Hammonds!

Long live Arizona writing!

We are accepting submissions for one more month!

The most recent book from this list, Show Me Where the Hurt is by @haydenmcasey13.bsky.social, was just named a PEN/Bingham finalist! Could you be next?

What do we want? Boundary-breaking prose which we interpret broadly…

Look at us, @haydenmcasey13.bsky.social. Who would’ve thought? Not me!

Terrestrial by Suzy Eynon - Independent Book Review TERRESTRIAL by Suzy Eynon (Malarkey Books) is a psychologically rich portrait of a teenage girl suspended between the rituals of 1990s girlhood and the otherworldly possibilities that beckon her.

Excited to see that Independent Book Review reviewed Terrestrial 🌵 @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

Rereading @mdbell79.bsky.social’s REFUSE TO BE DONE like my hair’s on fire so I can get through a second and third draft of this novel I wrote during the summer and be prepared to submit it by August. Totally doable, right? Right…? …right!
