Man. It was such a pleasure to meet @blacktopkid.bsky.social last night at his KING OF ASHES event at @anunlikelystory.bsky.social As most of you know, Shawn is an amazing writer. He also happens to be an incredibly cool human being. And he’s an @americanaquarium.bsky.social fan to boot! Good times!

Used a trip to Boston to stop in Plainville, Mass., and visit @jeffkinney.bsky.social's @anunlikelystory.bsky.social.

One word: AWESOME.
the exterior of the An Unlikely Story bookstore, which is a two-story building with a large front porch and dormer windows above the second floor a building's exterior wall with a sign reading "Unlikely Picks" and posters of the covers of three promoted books: ATMOSPHERE by Taylor Jenkins Reid, KING OF ASHES by S.A. Cosby, and HAZEL SAYS NO by Jessica Berger Gross the first floor of the An Unlikely Story bookstore, which has warmly colored wood floors and bookshelves and books suspended from the ceiling to look like they're flying An Unlikely Story bookstore sign featuring a drawing of an elephant holding an open book in its trunk. The sign is on an exterior wall, and there are two bags with books purchased from the store on the sidewalk beneath.

Some lovely words from Bill at @anunlikelystory.bsky.social about my upcoming short novel, "The Queen Of Saturn And The Prince In Waiting" which, y'know, you can buy it from them. It's a very sweet bookstore! @clashbooks.bsky.social

Saw Grady Hendrix last night at @anunlikelystory.bsky.social for his newest release and it was an absolute treat. If you have the chance to see him, definitely do it! 💙📚

Brought home two books today from one of my favorite local bookstores @anunlikelystory.bsky.social! 🥰📚 Went in with a giftcard and nothing particular in mind & found I was drawn to the nonfiction section most this afternoon.
