Here we are again! Some of the folks reading Hagridden are being super cool and sending me pics of their copy — on bookshelves, with booze, in the bayou. Basically, places that begin with B. (Not really — I made that up.) So here are a few more photos of Hagridden that people have been posting to socialContinue reading “More people reading Hagridden”

There she blows! A head like a billy goat! It is the Jersey Devil!
Over at Jersey Devil Press, we’re famously fond of dick jokes. So of course I’ve been making Moby Dick jokes all day. Because the September Jersey Devil Press is a whale of an issue! (Groan all you want — there’s more where that came from.) The issue itself is a bit of a guppy, all flashContinue reading “There she blows! A head like a billy goat! It is the Jersey Devil!”
People reading Hagridden
Back when my chapbook, Box Cutters, came out, I did a thing where I posted photos of people reading the book. It was awesome, because the people who bought and read Box Cutters are awesome. So are the people who are buying and reading Hagridden, because they’re doing the same thing and I didn’t evenContinue reading “People reading Hagridden”

This coming weekend, I’ll be reading at the Northwest release party for Hagridden here in Portland, alongside my friends Mark Russell and Monica Drake. And just today, I booked travel for my Midwest book tour in Ohio and Indiana. But today, I wanted to take one last look back at the Southern tour I just finished.Continue reading “Memories of the South”
Reading in Arkansas and more blog tour
I’ve wrapped up my Southern tour, y’all! And I couldn’t have asked for a better companion bookend to my opening reading in Boerne: the audience at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith was as big, as enthusiastic, as full of family and friends but also as full of community members and students, and as eager toContinue reading “Reading in Arkansas and more blog tour”
Returning home to Schreiner University
I began the Texas leg of my book tour in my hometown of Boerne, where I graduated high school. Tonight, I wrapped up my Texas tour in Kerrville, at my undergrad alma mater, Schreiner University. It was great to see the old place, which has undergone tremendous growth — new academic buildings, new housing, new community buildings —Continue reading “Returning home to Schreiner University”
Barnes & Noble, plus more Internet buzz about Hagridden
Not much happening on the blog tour until tomorrow, gang, but there are still loads of things happening online regarding #Hagridden. A couple days ago, I was very happy to discover that Malvern Books in Austin had done a blog post about my reading with Zoë Miller, including photos, both my and Zoë’s videos, and aContinue reading “Barnes & Noble, plus more Internet buzz about Hagridden”
Even MORE Hagridden blog tour!
Today, I gave a book talk about Hagridden at my grandparents’ retirement community and read a short story inspired by my ship-captain grandfather (the story, “The Voices Captain Brewster Heard,” will be published by WhiskeyPaper early next month). And in the meantime, I’m still on a blog tour! Yesterday, author Gay Degani interviewed me — we focusedContinue reading “Even MORE Hagridden blog tour!”
Reading in “Hot Portland” (aka Austin, TX)
Last night I had the privilege to read with Zoë Miller at the excellent indie bookstore Malvern Books in Austin, TX, a town that I always loved when I lived here in Texas and that I like to refer to now as “Hot Portland.” (I call Portland “Wet Austin.”) It was a great time, withContinue reading “Reading in “Hot Portland” (aka Austin, TX)”
