One of my faves. Read the whole trilogy. Gipes cast of characters won’t quit you.

Came home to North Carolina to news that Those We Thought We Knew has won the Sir Walter Raleigh Award, the state’s highest honor for fiction. Here’s hoping the book continues to find new readers and do real work.

Cell service still isn’t the greatest and WiFi can’t decide if it’s coming or going. But I did almost cry over my only slightly damaged book mail yesterday, so I’d say we’re doing fine.

ALT GIF of the “this is fine” dog meme. A dog sits in a chair while a fire roars around him. He picks up a mug and says this is fine.

When people ask how bad it is here in the SC upstate, I’m just like, “Well, the Waffle House closed.”

In the SC upstate near the NC border. We’re okay. Most of my town has no power. Few have cell service. We have no idea when folks will get power again. Please send all the love and aid to the Carolinas. We need it.
