Due to a plumbing issue flooding our house with shit water and Chris being sick, our Thanksgiving dinner was Jack in the Box. So today I am thankful for the people who went into work at JitB today, my DoorDash driver, and Clorox.

Back from Reno after Burn After Meeting (a regional burn leadership conference). Learned and shared with friends. Had Basque food and discovered I’m terrible at origami.

I’m seeing a lot of stuff talking about Them Crooked Cultures lately and it makes me think there’s something brewing with Joshua, Dave, and JPJ. My tiny black heart would explode with delight and joy if there were a reunion tour/second album and it would make my entire life. Just sayin’.

Author Nation was a huge success. A line of author and publishers around our booth waiting to talk to us. Rolled out our new ebook signing feature to everyone’s amazement! Made new friends, ate delicious food, worked ourselves to death. Can’t wait for the next one!

Long busy day but super rewarding. Then delicious dinner with wine and coworkers and author friends followed by smoking outside of the front door of the Paris hotel. I’m really not a fan if Vegas but I love it here during Author Nation. ❤️

Headed to Author Nation in Vegas today. Allegedly. Flight has already been delayed two hours.
If you’re there, come say hi! Just swing by the BookFunnel booth and look for the blue hair. :)

I was born in Detroit, spent my formative years on a South Texas cattle ranch, my young adult years inner-city between Houston and Chicago, and my later years in Dallas suburbia.
People seem scared of the good ol’ boys but it’s the tech bros we need to worry about. Nothing they do is altruistic.

Outside for a week in direct sun at 85+ degrees. Burned the things. Hugged a jillion people. Laughed and danced and sweated. Slept with ants. Blamed llama ghosts. Worked hard with some of my favorite people. 10/10 for Myschievia 2025. ❤️

Freaky Tales shocked the shit out of me because nobody told me about. Punk rock, brutal violence against not-sees, buckets of blood - my favorite things!
