THE MEMORY WARD is on the TOP of the best summer reads by Colorado authors (because they listed the books alphabetically by author's name). I'm proud to join my friends @erikatwurth.bsky.social and @christopherransom.bsky.social on this list.

Now that the first leg of The Memory Ward book tour is finished, I'm beginning the second. Yes, I've fallen on hard times, but I will survive. I'm relatively sure of it.

Random question of the day. What song have you listened to the most in your life? For me, it's Springsteen's "Thunder Road" by a lot.

Big event tomorrow night @boulderbookstore.bsky.social! Come on down! Live on the radio @kgnu.bsky.social (which is a shame because my natural beauty will be wasted on the listeners).

Today is release day for my 10th novel, THE MEMORY WARD, and I gotta tell you, I think this is my best one yet. It's been described as a cross between SHUTTER ISLAND and THE STEPFORD WIVES. I hope you take a chance on this one. And please spread the word!

When people see my posts, they are usually struck by how beautiful I am. However, if I'm being honest, often times my images are enhanced. Today, I want to come clean. Here is the real me. No filters. No makeup.

This might be the coolest thing ever. A student of mine, Miya Orton, did this artwork inspired by my upcoming novel. She's amazing.

People usually respond to my novels and live events with an attitude of indifference, insubordination, or downright hostility. Come see for yourself! Boulder Bookstore. March 7th. The interview will be broadcast live, so all of your heckles (Mom!) will be transmitted for the world to hear.

They cancelled my residency at the Vegas Sphere, but I've still got a fun little tour coming up. Thank you to Bush's Best, Diet Rite, Metamucil, Capital One, and the rest of my corporate sponsors. And they say I'm a sellout.

One month from tomorrow is the release for THE MEMORY WARD. Here's a little promo that the great Tom Parkin created. Incredible acting all around, and no humans were hurt in the filming. Enjoy!

Sometimes you just have to ask. A few months ago, I discovered a Denver band that I absolutely loved: Jaguar Stevens. Knowing it was a long-shot, I got in contact with them and asked if they would play a set at my book launch in Longmont. They said yes. I'm so damned stoked about this.

It does my heart good to see so much love pouring out for David Lynch. It takes genius to have your name turned into an adjective. Along with Tom Waits, Flannery O'Connor, and John Coltrane, he's my creative hero. Anybody else going to be binging on Lynch movies this weekend?
