I want to meet all the people and talk to all the people about War Boys!

Come and hang at this @triohousepress.org event.

Free books, good banter.

I wrote for Brevity Blog about how my mentor set me right about my memoir, just as I felt my worst about its future.

Thanks for sharing, @rozmorris.bsky.social!

Twenty-six years of work for this dream to come true. Thank you @triohousepress.org for being as enthusiastic about War Boys as I've always been.

War Boys comes out July 2026.

My husband and I built careers in tech and law. In our 40s, we sold our house, traveled for a year, and left both industries. When my husband was laid off from his tech job, we sold our house and decided to travel for a year in our 40s. It changed how we view happiness.

My latest bop, on @businessinsider.com, is about my husband and I blowing up our lives and traveling around Europe for a year.

Q: What's your reaction to the NEA revoking grants from lit mags? "perhaps it raises questions for you about the nature of this funding..."
