From gothic apparitions to groovy housewives, you don't know what any of Laurie Lee Brom’s painted ladies are thinking. Women, so mysterious amirite? Or is it perhaps simply the human condition? The universal unknowability and privacy of another person’s interior? unquietthings.com/the-unknowab...

To craft this charm I could not think of a more wizardly wrangler of metallurgical magics than Flannery Grace Good, who, as always, was up to the task. And she added a good luck protective figa to watch my back, even as I’m keeping watch for wonders and precious things.

I rediscovered a treasure I’d squirreled away years ago: a Peep Land token I found in a used car I bought from a former coworker!
I decided to repurpose it as a vigilant reminder to keep my peepers peeled, because there’s treasures & secrets & magic & mystery everywhere, just waiting to be known!

Mark Lanegan's voice sounded like two stones rubbing together, like gargoyles fucking. It was one of the most beautiful sounds in rock music, and I loved listening to it—he was a gorgeous, devastating musician. But. Jesus Christ. I finished this book, and I felt like I needed an exorcism.

I got a spam comment on my blog today for something I totally forgot I'd written. On making friends as a person who has a hard time making friends, and why I am glad when people have the patience for my slow, anxious, stumbling attempts at friendship. unquietthings.com/some-ramblin...

I bought a used car off a coworker’s husband a few years back and found this token tucked way deep down between the seats. I’ve held onto it these many years as a seedy talismanic reminder to keep my peepers peeled 👁️

Today, I came across an image I sure wish I had seen sooner. The intensity of that deep, gorgeous blue! The mystery of those fleeting celestial messengers! That sense of the vast and unknowable! I would have liked to include it in my forthcoming book! I promise I will spill all the details soon...

Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.
