During a very difficult week for our family, my 75-year-old mom assured me she'll still have time to shop at her local independent bookstores and casually talk up my forthcoming book 🤣If there's a surge of pre-order's in St. Louis, I'll know why. autumnhouse.org/books/near-s…

Always excited to come across a new Becky Mandelbaum story, and this one in The Sun is a stunner. thesunmagazine.org/issues/55… @b_mandelbaum @TheSunMagazine
Thanks to Lynne Nugent, Joan Li, Katie Berta, & @IowaReview for including my story in this beautiful issue. I’m having major nostalgia for the “before times” when I wrote this story unmasked in a library surrounded by quiet strangers.

On a walk with the 4-year-old and saw a giant bird eating the entrails of a mouse.
Me: "Oh gross. Yuck."
Him: "Don't say 'yuck,' Mama. Say, 'Not for me.' HE probably likes eating that."
Apparently, the kid has been listening at dinner after all.
