Off to the races with @jordanharper.bsky.social's latest. One chapter in and already hooked. I'd be hard pressed to name another author who sets a mood/vibe as fast as Jordan.

Started reading Stewart O'Nan's The Night Country while camping with the family. So far, this is easily the best Fall/Halloween reading experience ever.

Here is the "mood board" for the story I'm working on.

Heads up @jdclappwrites.bsky.social, it's a sad one..

"What's gone is gone. Real fairy tales end in the gutter. No amount of trying to live regular can bring back the fireworks."

Absolutely loving @wmboyle4.bsky.social's latest. True masterwork. Haven't cared about characters this much since Dan and Allison in NORTHLINE.

"I’m young and happy. I’ll never die."

Few authors have influenced/inspired me as much as Tim O'Brien. It makes me so happy that this book exists..

After a not so short hiatus from social media, I'm feeling really inspired, refreshed, and damn proud of all y'all have been putting out.

Also, @caseystegman.com is the bomb and I'm honored to call him a friend.

These are the three tunes that inspired my story, SERRAVALLE, TEXAS, that is featured in @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social's latest anthology.

Pick up TEXAS WIND and take a trip with some fantastic storytellers!

My story, 'Serravalle, Texas', is THE story I'm proudest of. It's part love letter to Buddy Holly/Willie Nelson/City and Colour, part me coming to terms with some heaviness.

It's coming soon in this anthology from @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social. hope y'all read it!

It's Lucia Berlin's Birthday/Death-day. Her style, her rhythm, and her heart have become such a huge influence on me. She rides alongside Vlautin and Carver in my eyes.
