THIS is what this administration is focusing on? It's beyond funny, it's pathetic, it's tone deaf.

This Diamond Rio song and video played a large role in the creation and writing of my novel, "HE." Martin Sheen's portrayal of the "sidewalk, soapbox preacher
looking forward to the end of the world," inspired the character, Reverend Jackson. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8Ot...

Kristi Noem has two new jets costing taxpayers nearly $200 million. Kash Patel uses his jet to commute, visit his girlfriend, and hit Formula 1.

Apparently, the only thing this administration is “protecting” is their travel rewards status.

64% of Americans do not want the chaos, the hatred, the retribution, the lunacy.

36% are in a cult.

How do we get out of this?

In honor of #Thanksgiving, join me for a glass of bubbly and a reading of the Thanksgiving chapter from "Unbroken." In this reading, Lincoln unexpectedly brings Jose to Thanksgiving dinner leading to the kind of #gaychaos only the holidays and homophobia can bring.

Unbelievable and sad.
Unbelievable.

Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

“Book-buyers aren’t attracted, by and large, by the literary merits of a novel; book-buyers want a good story to take with them on the airplane, something that will first fascinate them, then pull them in & keep them turning the pages.” –Stephen King
And this is what led to the failure of literature

Here's song 4 from the playlist for my latest novel, "HE." I’m choosing "Imagine" by Ben Platt as Oren’s song because it sums up how he feels about Jackson. Next week’s song was the inspiration for HE, so check back for that.

Ben Platt - Imagine [Official Video]
The official music video for Ben Platt's "Imagine". "Imagine" Out Now: https://benplatt.lnk.to/Imagine Subscribe for more official content from Ben Platt: https://benplatt.lnk.to/Subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/bensplatt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bensplatt Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BenPlattOfficial Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist. Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement. Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more. #BenPlatt #Imagine

More than a supernatural tale, Vampire Rising is a deeply moving allegory about identity, humanity, and the courage to exist authentically in a world that fears what it does not understand. An homage to "Dracula," it also an allegory for the AIDS crisis. bit.ly/3M36puZ
