San Diego weekend:

Hung out with kids from Congolese refugee families.
Went to a trans author event.
Played low level hockey with teammates from both sides of the border.
Heard equal parts English & Spanish at #SDFC game.

No xenophobes, no TERFs, no fascists.

Love my city.

Writer friends! My novel from the amazing @stanchion.bsky.social is out in Feb. I’d love to plan some events. If you have friendly book stores, dive bars, breweries, festivals, or street corner gatherings in your area that might welcome a visiting author, send them my way! 💙

Searching for good news … I found out yesterday that two copies of San Diego Stories @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social sold 2400 miles from here, and I took a walk amidst the tall grass and trains.

San Diego Stories up the street, snug and honored next to the amazing Brit Bennett. What a joyous ride, all gratitude @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social.

I hate it here (this country). But also grateful for what I have and trying to find beauty.

San Diego Stories is a year old. What a joyous journey. It’s in the public library & five local bookstores, has landed in the hands of dear friends across the globe, and I’ve done events near and far. ❤️❤️❤️ to so many friends and @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social. DM for a copy 😁.

Seeing my name in print is a huge thrill and honor. I just received copies of Philadelphia Stories, a beautiful magazine with prose, poetry, and art. You can find them free in the greater Philly area or read my story and other prize winners below.

Book mail is always great, but always sweeter when you personally know and admire the writers (& press!). I’m in for two treats. @jonathanin2k.bsky.social @meproctor.bsky.social @russellthayer10.bsky.social @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social

I loved seeing crowds and long lines at each of the seven indie bookstores I visited yesterday for the San Diego Book Crawl. Today I’ll be signing copies of San Diego Stories at Camino Books. Keep em coming!

Hey San Diego friends. Book Crawl weekend! Get out, meet your neighbors, and support local stores. Huge thanks to the lovely folks at Camino Books who’ve invited me to sign Sunday at 11 am. Right after some guy named Dave Eggers!

It’s backyard/wild flower season in San Diego. From which I believe it follows that you should get a signed copy of San Diego Stories, published by the amazing
@cowboyjamboree.bsky.social

Maybe find one at a local bookstore during this weekend’s book crawl!

So great to see old and new friends at AWP. If you happen to be in the Portland (OR) area, I’ll be reading at GOL, a soccer bar, yep, you heard that right, on Friday night.
