Lit Hub just published a new essay of mine about how writing Rainey Royal saved my life, and the “car crash” friends who inspired her (though I’ll never remember where I got that amazing name of hers).
Also recently-ish, the amazing Michele Filgate included an essay of mine, “The Third Request,” in her newest anthology, What My Father and I Don’t Talk About. I loved my father. But his third request, soon before he died, was that I write him a letter about all the ways in which he had failed me.
My essays grow increasingly revealing. It feels good to peel off the layers. More tk (a newspaper term for “more to come”).
