It’s been a while since I announced a new story, and this is one I’m super proud of. THE BALLOON HUNTER marks my first time writing with another author, in this case the incredibly talented Elinor Taylor. I fell in love with Elinor’s flash fiction on Twitter and reached out to let her know what a huge fan I was. We started brainstorming projects we could work on together, and today I’m delighted to announce that our co-authored work is available! Producing this book was an absolute nightmare and also…

When you think of New York City, a host of images often comes to mind: the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the billboards of Times Square, and probably somewhere in that collage you’ll see the iconic yellow taxi. When I first lived in New York over twenty years ago, the streets ran with gold. Every other car was a yellow taxi. These days, it feels like it’s 1 in every 20 or more cars is a cab.

You know what I felt the most over those ten years? It wasn’t impatience. It was fear. Fear that whatever got made would disappoint readers. I mean, you’re never gonna make everyone happy. But it’s possible to get things wrong, or put out something…

Okay … there’s a LOT happening right now, and the show hasn’t even launched yet. Here are a few of the fun places to pop into and discuss the show with fellow woolites and silozens: There’s a FB group (come join us!) A subreddit A discord chat (weekly episode discussions!) A podcast (I just listened to the first one, and it’s awesome!) The IMDB page has a TON of stuff in one place And some fun Apple ads for laughs (and easter eggs!) One of my favorite little easter eggs…
