One of my talented MFA students at Wichita State emailed to tell me he just got his story accepted for publication, a story that I worked on with him. I can't think of a better message or nicer mood boost today. Students, tell your teachers your good news. We love to hear it! 😀
Thought I’d share some happy writing news alongside this photo of Luna 😊: After years of work on my memoir, I’m going to finish it this week! Can’t wait for this labor of love and pain to make it to the world, and maybe for it to even help someone. ❤️

My 2 favorite Jain monks and great friends, Sadhvi Anubhuti and Sadhvi Siddhali at their retreat center in Texas. I’m honored to be a small part of their mission to ease suffering for both humans and animals. ❤️

The Buddha agrees, this story collection by @barrettbowlin is so damn good. I was honored to provide a blurb for the back cover, and I hope lots of you pick up a copy!
It was my honor to write a blurb for Lisa Czarina Michaud’s newly released YA novel, Slanted and Disenchanted, which I absolutely loved! @lisacmichaud

Not sure which I love more...this gorgeous pic of my book by Paul Leonard, or his rave review: "let me tell you... holy shit. What's Done in Darkness is a solid 5/5 ⭐️ anxiety-inducing knockout." @randomhouse
