What does "Hidden behind the door that sorrow locked" mean? @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social asked and of course a bunch of writers took the bait. Check out the whole issue--it's really great: www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/hidden-behin...

Here's one of my contributions.

This was a great conversation—I got one video game and two book recommendations, some super helpful writing advice, and cool background inspiration for Amber’s new novel, Happy People Don’t Live Here, which is on my nightstand. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
So excited to be back on the show after 13 YEARS! Thank you to Brad for having me on to talk about the book

@ambersparks.bsky.social returns to the show celebrating the publication of her debut novel HAPPY PEOPLE DON'T LIVE HERE (@liveright.bsky.social), a story of a mother and a daughter, of magic and mystery, ghosts and grief.

Good adivce for those of us with an associate's degree from an accredited two-year institution.

Thanks @rfpress.bsky.social 😍
We have some wildly great micro in this edition. Case in point, “Notes for a Community College Commencement Speech” by @jeffreyhermann.bsky.social is part of “Six Little Ones”. It’s some real talk about choices or if we even have one. Read it here.
