NEWS

May, 2019: The paperback is here! It's so very soft and light and perfect for fanning yourself in the summer heat. Don't get heat rash! It's uncomfortable. Anyway. 

The folks at my wondrous local bookstore, Malaprop's, will send you a signed copy! I'll even draw you pictures or write your name or whatever makes you happy inside. 

Get it here.
