We had a festive group of readers at the Book House at Stuyvesant Plaza last night. I know what it takes to get ME out of the house when it's cold and dark, so I'm grateful folks are showing up for my tour dates!

Looks like my book tour travel luck has run out at O'Hare - one hour or more taxi time and I didn't grab myself a desperately-needed cup of tea in my rush to make my connection😭

Do you think it's OTT if I get a tattoo of the glowing NYTimes review of my upcoming book? I'm thinking maybe a sleeve.

I started my 20 page paper on Puritans and Mosaic Law at midnight and walked it across campus at 5am to drop in the professor's mail slot. And LATER I cannibalized it for my law school thesis! No AI needed, just family-sized M&Ms and a six pack of cane sugar Coca Cola.
I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
