All of You is stellar. I’ve only seen Brett Goldstein in Ted Lasso, but this moves him into a whole new realm. Terrific acting job. AppleTV+

The audiobook of Lena, Wild Girl on the Prairie, is coming next month! I'm excited that Susan Wegmann is narrator.

She has a warm voice that tells the story perfectly (I've heard a preview) and is narrator of many audiobooks.

We all need a little Maya Angelou every day. Her words are poetic, and you can almost hear her loving voice when you read them.

Coming next month: LENA audiobook. If you don't have Audible, get it now. Did you know you can listen to podcasts through Audible, too? Audiobooks are NOT cheap, unless you use Audible:

What to do if you aren't selling as many copies of the latest book you've written. Just keep writing. More books, more readers.

Be like Tarzan, be brave.

Where’s that card with the happy squirrel? I hear that’s the scariest one. Or was that just from the Simpson episode?

This is still the greatest convention speech ever! And only 9 minutes.

Today’s news. Gee, I’m skeered now of Rosie O’Donnell. She’s SO dangerous! 🤪🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Writers: if your novel is tied to a specific location that’s not a big city, you can email old-fashioned press releases to newspapers & you will get hits. Here’s the Kingsbury SD Journal. Every little bit helps!

Sometimes you get tired of pushing your books, but bit by bit, the results come in. Thank you, FreshFiction.com for mentioning Lena!

My son Max Mallory would have been 32 today. Hard to believe. This is a photo I took of him in Whitewater WI in 2016, a month before he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He was smart, caring, creative, and giving.

Love you and miss you every day, Max.
