I had a blast at the Columbus Book Festival this past weekend. I sold a good amount of books, gained a lot of new readers, and had people come to see me specifically, which is awesome! A rainstorm even came through Saturday and we had to close up the tent with customers in it.

Since release Rootfingers has been mostly hovering between 72 - 100 in American Horror on Amazon, which is awesome. Can it go higher? We'll see. Also, reviews are eternally appreciated!

Found this baby bird at the dog park. The branches of the tree were out of reach, so I picked him up (he fell asleep in my hand), then put him in a safer spot where all the dogs wouldn't try to play with him. Then made him a little nest with leaves and twigs.

The StokerCon hotel had this weird room (probably weren't supposed to be in there) that contained possible non-Euclidean geometry and a stage whose lights had been on all week and held an open tome in Hebrew. The room led to liminal back hallways and a rusted portal in one wall.
