Today is Pub Day for Counterfactual Love Stories & Other Experiments

Pub Day at Last!

The Day has Come!

I’m a late bloomer when it comes to publishing. Most of my friends already have one or more books out in the world because they’re talented and hardworking, but the day has finally come for me. It’s PUB DAY for Counterfactual Love Stores & Other Experiments at long last! I’ve been dreaming about this day since I started writing fiction seriously in college, since my first workshop in my late 20s, since my MFA and my PhD programs, I’ve been waiting for my own day & it’s finally here. It almost doesn’t feel real, except that my body wouldn’t let me sleep more than six hours, even after I took Ashwaganda and melotonin. Guess I should I have smoked instead.

If you know me, you know that I’ve been working tirelessly on this manuscript for well over a decade. Closer to sixteen years, but who’s counting? So, to see this manuscript finally emerge into this world is really huge deal to me. I hope that you feel that way too.
