I'm humbled and honored to share that TWO NOVEMBERS has sold so many copies that it is now entering its 4th print run! 🎉 It chronicles my love life for one year in Shakespearean sonnets. But don't be intimidated - it's written in modern, understandable English! #shopindie #localpress #lovestory

I'm genuinely disturbed by this bio. The article was labeled "AI generated." But an AI-generated article is, by definition, not honest, genuine, or thoroughly researched.

(The bad grammar/syntax also genuinely disturbs me, but that's nothing new....) #ai #writing #writers

Leaving aside all politics - I love DC. It's my beloved chosen home. So many changes are being made and I worry about the people and economy. Can we keep up with the changes without a local depression? Sending everyone best wishes as we navigate these times of upheaval.

On a date a few weeks ago. I have suddenly forgotten how to open a car door. It's very strange, but I need help. Fortunately, my date has that skill!!

I just got my FIRST 1-star review.... Does that mean I'm a REAL author now?!!! Methinks it doth! (It's on Goodreads, and they didn't leave a description explaining why. But that's good cuz I don't really want to know!) IN OTHER NEWS, I'm stoked about getting two brand-new 5-star reviews on Amazon!
