Thanks to the SIUE Bookstore, Valerie Vogrin, and everyone who came out yesterday to hear me read from MORE HELL and talk literary citizenship.

And to Sarah Kunch for the photo and Megan Hudgins for the art, which isn’t pictured here but will feature prominently on my desk 🤭

The best part of moving back to Rockford has been Screw City’s literary community.

Super excited to get my copy of The Rockford Anthology, edited by the spectacular Rachel León and published by one of my new favorite indie presses @beltpublishing.bsky.social.

Had an amazing time reading at @republicofletters.bsky.social and discussing publishing with Christina Kubasta of Shake Rag Alley. Rad to see all the cool artistic endeavors blossoming in the Driftless, including these I picked up on the journey.
