Happy (book) birthday, Champ! The second edition of THE SURGE was published a year ago today from the fabulous @TortoiseBooks. I'm grateful for all the readers who've given my debut novel a place on their shelves.

I had some thoughts on the loss of Sheldon Lee Compton (1976-2026) and the episode of This Podcast Will Change Your Life we recorded back in 2015. All the love Sheldon and Godspeed as you head into the light.

ICYM the post a couple weeks ago, you can now preorder my novel! Ordering directly from the publisher benefits small presses like @thirtywestph, and you’ll get cool swag like stickers & bookmarks. Check it out if you’re so inclined. Happy Friday! thirtywestph.com/shop/p/pepp…
