The perfect morning. Good coffee, snuggly pup, and a manuscript about stopping Hell on Earth. Ok, right after I took this, he did lean on the tab key and create a crazy formatting error, but it's still pretty good.

Alan was unimpressed by the city of #Seattle. Also, while he's not showing it, that pig filled him with a righteous terror that nearly sent him skittering off the boardwalk. 12/10, he was a very brave boy. His ennui is only for show.

On our last episode, I committed to drawing all my items for our podcast rather than using AI. It's going to start rough, but hopefully I'll get better! Here's the first one for next week's episode: Things that are crimes.

Here is the moment last night that 47,000 fans new the @mariners.com were advancing to the ALCS. The feeling in that stadium, even after 15 innings was electric. In the words of Cal Raleigh, let's win the whole f**kin thing! GO MARINERS

Huge thanks to Paper Boat Booksellers for hosting me Friday night! The crowd for the One Night at Kedasi launch was incredible. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick this off.
If you missed it, they’ve still got a few signed copies on the shelf.

I have an arbitrary, one-sided feud with @kenfollettauthor.bsky.social. Many years ago, my first book was titled Whiteout and battled Follett's book, Whiteout, for SEO supremacy (I lost).
But now, on release day for my first trad pub book, One Night at Kedasi, Follett puts out this. It. is. on.

The auto-generated thumbnail for Review Everything this week did me dirty 😂. That is the face of a man who just ate far too many blazin' cauliflower wings his cohost sent him as a bit. No regrets, they tasted great. Buffalo Wild Wings, we're open to sponsors.
