✨It’s here✨
Skater Boy’s paperback edition is officially out in the world! 🛹🩰
It’s been a wild year of shouting about Wes, embarrassing myself on TikTok, and connecting with readers all over the world. Thank you for giving my angry punk a chance.
You have made these last 12 months so worth it. 🙏🏼

Thank you, Jenna B. Hager, for recognizing Wes’s story on the national stage and right next to THE Suzanne Collins! I am honored. I am shocked. I am so so thankful. 🙌🏼🥳

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:
The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.
I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

Reminder that you're not helping anyone by watching a vile man celebrate his inauguration tomorrow.
If you're free tomorrow, your time would be better spent at a food pantry, or supporting friends in need, or working on art you're passionate about, or doing basically anything else.

It has come to my attention that one of the stores I was partnering with has recently removed all LGBTQ titles from their shelves so….it’s time to relaunch SKATER BOY’s preorder campaign!
Snag a paperback of SB from any of the following stores to receive some 🛹🩰 swag!

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.
