It's much lighter than the hardcover and honestly, I'm kind of a sucker for paperback. Ships with a little treat!

#1 Orange Banner day for my new son.
Hollis Brown, bully of jocks (who then kick his ass) was such a fun concept to write.
They’re all like “Bro why is he so mean 🙁”

The Corruption of Hollis Brown by @kaylaancrum.bsky.social is out today and so is my review!
This book would have become my whole personality if I had read it in high school. It’s still threatening to do that now, well into adulthood.

I do feel like a fair amount of people log on to the internet just for the chance to be able to scold someone else.
It’s a partisan issue.
I think it feels good to them and satisfies them deeply in a way nothing else will. Not sure what we do about this, I just know it’s true.

It sucks so bad that a lot of clothes being sold today are made of the sort of fabric that we would have relegated for use as a skirt lining or a Halloween costume back in 1999.

This week at work, I told former SEINFELD writer turned novelist Matt Goldman about nerdily teaching myself screenplay format @ 11 & trying to join the writers room of his show & COACH. I heard back from both shows, & the kindest reply came from COACH's Barry Kemp. Today, I found my old letter. 🩵
