Librarians really are amazing people, y’all.
As a librarian, I've served in a number of capacities. Today, I helped break into a coworker's car to retrieve her keys.

Order a copy! Long beautiful stories—and we’ll send stickers and a few zines.
My book came out a year ago today. I tried as best as I could to create a level of depth in the reader’s access to each character’s interior world. If you like that kind of narrative intimacy, give my book a try!

The majority of men in my life watch Youtube and play video games. At work, though, it's men who've been locked up who read the most. Enough that I'm starting a "Rough Cut" Book Club: Iceberg Slim, Dennis Lehane, Donald Goines, Bonnie Jo Campbell, Treasure Hernandez, Donald Ray Pollock, K'wan, etc.
