Debut novel THE BURDEN OF JOY out now from Rejection Letters press
My boy turned 10 months old the other day, and oh man, every age has been my favorite age, but this one is in the top 10 for sure.
🎶 ooh heaven is a place on Earth 🎶 salami baguette sandwich and coffee from Proof Bakery and the latest @autofocusbooks.bsky.social book from @aaronburch.bsky.social
My son’s celebrity lookalike (mostly due to hair growth pattern)
Forgot my own book’s birthday over the weekend, but Hurley remembered! Happy second bday to The Burden of Joy! Love you @rejectionlit.bsky.social
Had to sell my @nin.com tix for tonight because I’m too pregnant. Still celebrated new NIN though, with my favorite Etsy purchase of all time.
My team rarely hires because our average team tenure is 9 years (!), but we're hiring for a Customer Support Advocate now! Are you in PST, MST or HST? Apply and come work with me and my wonderful team @buffer.com ---> buffer.com/journey/51d5...
Some of the @rejectionlit.bsky.social fam (including photographer @squeakypig.bsky.social — I’m sorry I doubted your vision for this shot) at the @autofocusbooks.bsky.social reading last night! @dtrobbins.bsky.social & Sean Moeller and me!
Angelenos, come out on Wednesday night to Stories for the book launch and reading for @autofocusbooks.bsky.social's new compilation, IF I CAN BE HONEST! I'm so excited to celebrate Autofocus and the incredible writing it continues to shepherd into the world!
Come celebrate the launch of the Autofocus Books anthology, IF I CAN BE HONEST, with us at Stories on July 23rd! 🖤🍰
I curated my Sad Girl Summer Must-Haves from Urban Outfitters (where you can buy my book, The Burden of Joy)! It includes elder millennial items like sunscreen, sneakers & a water bottle, so you can stay protected, supported, & hydrated while setting the vibe. Links in thread!
My book, DT's book, and Emily's book are all available now through Urban Outfitters online and in select stores! Kinda feel bad about the time I accidentally stole a bra from there. Assuage my guilt and pick up a copy of THE BURDEN OF JOY from them! It's a @rejectionlit.bsky.social party!
My copy of Liars, annotated, which she saw, and which led to the interview.
My sister got me a stack of Richard Brautigan books at a used bookstore for $3 each. Opened one up to a surprise!
