Today’s bit of beauty: THE TERM BETWEEN, by Brady Harrison. 2023 High Plains International Book Award winner. One story each night before bed. To be savored.

Happy for my friend Jeffrey Utzinger, who is celebrating the release of his first book today. Jeffrey and I went to elementary school, junior high, and high school together, then lost touch for *mumblemumblethirtyoddyearsmumblemumble* before reconnecting recently.

Big day for a good man!

My new play, THE GARISH SUN, is being staged by Yellowstone Repertory Theatre. Five performances remain, including one tonight at 7:30, if you’re in Billings or are Billings-adjacent.
