The Memory of Fire: 105k
Princess Serath burns her rotten fathers crown, unleashes dragon chaos, falls in love with a wolf, tries to kill her brother and raises an army of the dead. Like most women, she just went and did it herself. Treason never looked this good.

Sat next to a cool guy on the plane home named John. Thanks for talking about memoirs - Patti Smith’s and my book. He asked for a signed copy and I was glad to give it. We discussed vinyl, books, our kids and journalism. Great way to end my week at AWP. Thanks John 🙏

Goodbye LA! What a strange and wonderful place. It’s going to take me a minute to process the beauty and pain I saw this week. I met many young writers and I feel much better - art and literature are very much still thriving in these hard times. I will see you all at AWP Balt. next year!!
