I’m not sure I included enough puns in the chapter titles of my upcoming book Nowhere to Go but Up. I mean, right?! Too much of a good thing (yes, good) doesn’t apply here 😆

Happening today. I recently realized I’ve got things to say after publishing books with six different presses.

I’m really liking this book by @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social
It’s got that hard to get right tone—fun, personal, thoughtful, and informative!

This is how I started my day! Happy April Fool’s Day! (Don’t worry, I retaliated—my husband’s going to work with a sign on his car that says “Honk if you like sardines”).

So glad CSUB is having me back. Just over 5 years ago, I spoke there about my then new book about Weird Al. Later that day, the university shut down and didn’t reopen for a long time. I can only assume this appearance will go better!

In honor of women’s history month, Can’t Stop the Grrrls! Come for the foreword by Meshell Ndegeocello and stay for the afterword by Amy Ray. Oh, and I wrote some stuff in the middle.

Q: What do Angela Lansbury and Weird Al have in common?
A: They’re both awesome, the same author wrote books about both of them, and they look good on a turquoise cover! #angelalansbury #weirdal

Trying to stay sharp today despite the current news. And this bread loaf my neighbor baked is really helping! I love it as much as it appears to love me 🤣

I’m helping a fellow musicologist finish her book by writing this encouraging letter! (AMS, by the way, stands for the American Musicology Society.) She can do it! And if you need my special brand of encouragement, let me know!
