good morning charlottesville!! what a lovely day to not vote for a school board candidate who promised to keep police out of schools and then voted in favor of it anyway, without robust data or engagement with the public!!

the southern festival of books was amazing?? special shoutout to the booksellers who kept murmuring gently to me the number of people left in the signing line, in a noble yet doomed effort to get me to stop talking so damn much

most people don't know this but you're not technically a fantasy writer until your book has a map in it. with the topography drawn in charming miniature. and at least one dragon

what if i told you the everlasting (out oct. 28th) has ILLUSTRATIONS and a MAP drawn by the incredible @alicecaoillo.bsky.social ??? what then???

the indescribable high of finding a formative text, with the most 1989 cover imaginable, for 25¢ at the rummage sale 🙏

our local police department--which was previously planning to ask for an extra $800k to police our kids--has magically discovered that actually they have enough money internally. wow! really makes you feel like these numbers are very real and not made up at all!

every book release you are allowed one (1) senseless, time-consuming project to manage your anxieties, and this time it's: embroidering this goodwill blazer to sort of match my cover 😂

me: i'm a grown up! i am working in a narrative universe that does not promise a traditionally happy ending! in fact the very concept of a happy ending is a false comfort we cling to in a fundamentally impermanent world!
