Since August, I’ve been asked to blurb seven books. It’s a privilege and blessing to have so many talented writers invite me to be part of their work, and I don’t take it for granted.

Fun fact: Look closely & you can see a copy of COUNT THE DUST in Jim Jarmusch's 2003 film, COFFEE AND CIGARETTES.

It appears in a few of the scenes where <*checks notes*> characters sit at a table drinking coffee & smoking cigarettes.

Get yours Tuesday from @leftoverbooks.bsky.social ☕🚬

Legendary pop artist Ed Ruscha loves gas station art. It makes sense he'd dig COUNT THE DUST.

You can dig it too. Paperback and ebook are available this Tuesday, 12/2, from @leftoverbooks.bsky.social: a.co/d/dTF7R33

A girl of mystery
Her hair hangs down yellow
But her skin is Shawnee
She lives in caliche pits
Outside of town
And fires her long rifle
At the sun going down...
