THE THANK YOU NOTES CAME TODAY! I gave a guest lecture to the Creative Writing class at CB West High, and their thank you notes arrived. They had lovely things to say about my talk, my personal story, and my writing. I wholeheartedly enjoyed speaking with them, and I’m grateful for their kindness. 💛

DREAD MONDAYS is launching tomorrow! It’s well reviewed, and I’ve got a cute little corporate horror story in it called, “Such a Catch,” so check it out!
I’d hit the launch party if it wasn’t a couple of thousand miles away from me.

I started THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS yesterday, and it looks like a guy named Shifman (okay, 2 f’s) takes it on the chin lol. I’m anxious about what’s gonna happen to this poor kid, he could be a relative of mine. Should I be worried for Matty, @chuckwendig.bsky.social?
