The Freakin’ Weekend

Shelbyville, Ky. Flea Market, some undefined time in the past.

Shelbyville, Ky. Flea Market, some undefined time in the past.

I’m in this weird and terrible place right now, where I really need to pack and househunt, but I also really, desperately need to go to all the Kentucky Derby Festival events. Let’s be real: I’m going to put all this off for at least another 8 days. What are you doing this weekend?

Fantasy Life Update: Moving to Charleston

My front yard, maybe?

Friends, I have a lot of news for you. I’ve accepted a new position as the American South commissioning editor for the History Press, and I’m moving to Charleston, South Carolina in a few weeks to start my new job. I couldn’t be more excited- helping people write books about the South is absolutely my dream. I’ve never lived near the ocean, either, and I’ve always wanted to, so I anticipate a lot of time spent down at Folly Beach, too.

What does this mean for you? Well, I’m still eager to help you with any design work you want done, I’ll be blogging from 600 miles east of where I am currently, and I’ll be actively looking for people who want to write works of non-fiction. In short, it’ll be me with a different driver’s license (I KNOW.). I ask only for your patience in the coming weeks- things might slow down a little bit while I’m moving, but I’ll be back as soon as I can!

Do any of you know anyone in Charleston? Got any great recommendations or good leads? Want to write a book for me? Get at me. I’m excited about this new chapter and I’m grateful for your support.

Kentucky: My Beloved Home

Kentucky is pretty. So you agree? You think it's really pretty?

Kentucky is pretty. So you agree? You think it’s really pretty?

I left Kentucky for a few years, and I’ve lived all around the country (and the world, I guess) over the last 25 years, but this place is home and I love it unconditionally. It is beautiful and full of unpretentious, fun people.

WHICH IS WHY I AM SO INSULTED THEY LEFT OFF BOTH TURTLEMAN AND THE BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS FROM THIS LIST. WHY WASN’T I CONSULTED?
