🧵So 2025 was a lot, but not without good things.
On 1/14, I launched WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON. It's a book that helped me work out the kind of person I want to be during interesting times.

A magazine rack of friendly fire with a crosslegged skeleton reading a book

My booth at the twin cities book fest with many skulls and yellow font and stuff about surviving a gun shot to the head

People always ask to buy my little skeletons but they work very hard and are not for sale

A chapter of my memoir actually takes place at this book fair venue which is a fun little synchronicity!

My appearance kicks off Season 3 of the Lived to Tell Podcast, where Caitlin and I discuss the events and fallout of my memoir, FRIENDLY FIRE.

“Paul was unintentionally shot in the head by his best friend. What happened after would change Paul’s life forever.”

The facade of auntie’s books in Spokane Washington downtown

The new hardback arrivals section at Auntie’s bookstore in Spokane Washington featuring amber sparks’ book happy people don’t live here

Happy people don’t live here by amber sparks Red cover with ghostly black font. An old candle and a key ring with pine lake sanitarium printed on

Am in Spokane for a concert and found this amazing indie where I of course picked up a copy of @ambersparks.bsky.social’ new book!!

Four zombie figures by vats of toxic waste. One is crawling from the barrel with a gas mask on. They wear white hazmat garb that is caked with blood.

A rabbit/humanoid figure with bloody ears holding a hammer in each hand. Wearing white coveralls spattered with blood.

Two clown figures—one in a pink dress and one in blue. Perhaps bridesmaids? Faces are discolored, rotten, insidious contortion of smiles.

Little girl zombie with weirdly adult demonic face. White coat and hat. Walking her zombie coyote like a dog by a blood spattered and timeworn fence.

Neighbor’s haunted trail is pretty good

Going on tour next week! Come say hi please don’t make me read to myself and that one guy who’s actually got earbuds in

Illustrated ceiling of the Saint Paul union depot "find me at rain taxi's twin cities book fest" in large blue and purple font. "nov. 8 Union depot" in yellow font along the bottom

Happy to announce I’m an exhibitor at Rain Taxi’s 25th annual Twin Cities Book Festival. I’ll be slinging copies of my memoir, Friendly Fire. The participating author list is also bonkers good. November 8th at the Saint Paul Union Depot (a location featured in my book!). Give it a gander

Incredible writing material, as always! These trips rule

Choo choo

Here’s what’s pulling us this weekend

A small portal to hell

The skytop back of the Cedar Rapids train car operated by the friends of the 261 to Arlington, MN. Curved, segmented windows, red carpet with floral design. Green upholstery. Cocktail tables. All very 1948.

The skytop back of the Cedar Rapids train car operated by the friends of the 261 to Arlington, MN. Curved, segmented windows. With me throwing up a peace sign. Wearing a white dress shirt

Tough to beat this train car

A beer, my book, and a name tag that says “hello my name is friendly fire”

Love visiting book clubs that read friendly fire!!

Cheers!
