THE NEEDLESSLY RELUCTANT HERO: "You must embark immediately upon a quest to save our world!" "Yeah but what's in it for ME?"

The nicest #BirthdayPresent I ever got? My wife bought me #EnChroma #ColorBlind glasses, one year ago today. Today on my #Birthday, my #MotherInLaw’s dog snatched those glasses off the table and destroyed them. #HappyBirthday. #HappyBirthdayToMe.

@tomi_adeyemi OOH, you signed my book today! Can’t wait to have it in my hands! @MystGalaxyBooks @tomi_adeyemi

I made a delicious thing. #Alaska #brewing #smokedporter #beer #beerbattered #panko #deepfried… instagram.com/p/Bf6SR9bno4r/

@TherealMrBest @raganewing @DeathStarPR I think you somehow missed your own point.

@DeathStarPR The Death Star was military grade government hardware operated by highly trained soldiers. I think you mean to suggest that we’d all be safer if we unconditionally trusted the Empire and disarmed the Rebel Alliance.

Follow me and tweet me your pitch here this week—following the #PitMad format at the #PitchWars website—for a free critique! twitter.com/brendadrake/st…

@arcticninjapaul Tons of fun. I enjoyed the pacing and appreciated the carefully chosen level of exposition—when, what, and how to reveal. At the end of the day it was just really good sci-fi noir.

@AnaMardoll Hi from Alaska, where store brand milk is $3.99.

Hey @ActuallyNPH, I can't help but imagine that Barney Stinson would be pretty excited for this youtu.be/aPhbnsrkDlA #CobraKai #KarateKid

And there is absolutely NO WAY the government would select foods from businesses that ultimately profit Trump & Co. twitter.com/ddale8/status/…

In 2014, before a signing for another author, I jumped behind the signing table at my favorite indie bookshop and pretended to sign books. Today, I had my first signing there. Don’t give up.

I love a good #murder in the morning. #amwriting #alaska #alaskan #author #coffee #coffeeshop

@Janet_Reid Personally, I value blurbs more than flap copy. I don’t even read the flap anymore because I like to go in blind—but a good blurb is like a solid recommendation from someone I respect.

@Fyrekatz1 @LyndsayEly Came here to say this.
