I am so grateful we were able to tag along with Phil on a work trip this week. Now that he’s the EMS Deputy Chief, he attended the Texas EMS Conference. 🚑 It’s been a long time since he has ridden the box. I almost forgot how ill-suited I would be for that line of work until the conference and TxDot’s “Mash Potatoes Not Your Head. Buckle Up,” Thanksgiving travel signs on 35. 🛣️ EMS stories always remind me I was NOT made for that line of work. We haven’t been to Austin in a while (since my in-laws moved from there to our town) and we had an absolute ball!Stayed Austin Marriott Downtown. Played Wonderspaces Austin. Shopped BookPeople. Pretended to study University of Texas-Austin. Toured Texas State Capitol.
Thank you Natasha at BookPeople for the rec for The Liar'sCrown!!!

Signed copies available y'all.

My featured book today for University Press Week is THE SECRET LIVES OF CHURCH LADIES, an excellent book of short stories by Deesha Philyaw. “Snowfall” is a masterpiece, evoking nostalgia in an attempt to heal wounds of the soul, while reminding readers that love can be found in the present. I was brought to tears by the end of this story, revealing that sometimes you can’t retreat to the past to find love’s redemptive powers. All readers will find lots to love in this fantastic book of short stories.
