I’ll be at Creatures, Crimes, and Creativity this weekend, hosting two panels and one one. I always like this conference. I get to see people and talk to them, although it’s still stressful. Columbia MD is the place to be this weekend. I’ll be signing and auctioning stuff. #writing #author #mdc3con

We need a word that describes proclaiming beliefs as if they were facts in order to get followers. Oh right! We have several––politics, religion, and social media. #politics #religion #socialmedia

Happy Eat a Hoagie Day … no, that’s not a sub, grinder, etc.
