I’ve had a Twitter account for longer than most of my readers have been alive. For the most part, I’m glad about that. I’ve made lots of wonderful friends from around the world–including many of you who are reading this now, I’m sure!–I’ve learned a lot about writing, and I’ve gotten crucial information about my local and global community, especially during the pandemic. I’ve even sold a few books: once, in one of my less kind moments, I made a snarky joke that a stranger enjoyed so much that he vowed to buy Magic Marks the Spot for his kids. (Thanks, stranger.)

The recent changes at Twitter have made me feel uncomfortable maintaining my account there, however, and I’d like to reduce the amount of social media in my life anyway, so I’ve locked my Twitter account and won’t be posting there going forward. If you’ll miss me there, don’t fret! I am unavoidably online. In the new year, I’ll update the social media icons on this site to reflect the places where you can still find my words, photos, and occasionally snarky jokes, but for now, I’ll leave you with some links to my public accounts:
