I write books. I build stuff. Living on the edge of the prairie on the farm my great-grandparents homesteaded in 1880. Deeply concerned about the world we're leaving to my grandchildren and trying to do something about it.
I'm ready, Winter!
I’m ready winter!

The moon gives you light,
And the bugles and the drums give you music;
And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans,
My heart gives you love.

The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota.

But after the state passed a measure preventing transgender young people like their daughter from using girls’ bathrooms, they sold it and moved away.
A family opened a town’s first bookstore. A bathroom bill is driving them away.
The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. They sold it and moved after a new law would’ve required their daughter to use a boy’s bathroom.
