My husband 3D printed these Koroks, and for the past few weeks we’ve been hiding them around the house for the other person to find. Where should I put this little guy today?

Dallas London’s brother drowned off the coast of Maui. Oddly enough, her diet of whiskey, cigarettes, and Twinkies is not helping her cope. But when she hallucinates demons—and they try to kill her—what’s a train wreck with a death wish to do?

Became a @sgj.bsky.social convert after reading The Only Good Indians. I’m positive the POV switches in that book were literary magic. Thanks for signing my new book tonight! It was a great to meet you!

It makes sense that I have insomnia tonight. My brother died a month and a half before his 38th birthday. Today, I turn 38–which means I’m older than my big brother will ever be. It’s weird and sad and something else I can’t quite put my finger on. Anyway, this year’s for you, Joe. Bangarang.

TREADING WATER is based on my experience with grief & trauma after my brother went missing (& was declared deceased) 3 years ago. If I did my job right, you’ll laugh. You’ll cry. And you’ll never look at the ocean the same again. Attached: 3rd party beta-readers’ feedback…

Hook: Dallas London's brother has gone missing off the coast of Maui. Back in San Francisco, Dallas does denial in style. But when she sees demons lurking in the shadows, even she can’t pretend she’s fine.

Before I left for Europe, I organized and moderated a panel to help local authors work with booksellers to find comps for their WIPs. Really proud of how it turned out, and super excited to get more of these types of events on the #BainbridgeBARN calendar

So many amazing climbing gyms in London. We’ve been making the rounds this visit, but HarroWall has definitely been my favorite so far. So. Much. Slab.

Judging the local youth climbing comp. These kids are already so much better than I will ever be.

Celebrated 16 years together with a 5-mile run and a climb sesh. HiClimb in Honolulu is a killer gym. Highly recommend.

My FMC, Dallas London, has a very interesting take on psychological triggers. She would though, considering hers are hunting her down.
