Before this goes to agents, I’m looking for two or three readers. No editors. Not proofreaders. Readers. People who will read it the way you read any book — for the experience of it — and then tell me four things! I’ll let you know those four! Interested?

I finished writing a new book. 22,000 words—Two Hour Read. Somewhere between Pico Iyer and Tuesdays with Morrie, which probably tells you nothing.
Looking for 2–3 readers before it goes to agents. Honest attention only. Three weeks. readers@worldrider.com if you're in.
At 2:27 am in Austin, after the crowd cleared and the band packed up, Ramsay Midwood and I sat in a dark corner of Sam’s Town Point talking about music, poetry, wrong turns, and the roads that shape a life.

A man pushed a plate away and said, “I hate beets.”

Enjoy — let me know where you will use your dish!
When I first read about it […] I didn't think of press freedom rankings or democracy scores—I thought of a dirt road in Sumatra, and the Voice of America. Yesterday, I posted about it; serendipitously, today's news inspired me to rewrite it. #voa open.substack.com/.../s…...
An interesting story and perspective on the dismantling of public broadcasting and the #VOA @VOANews @insidevoa
Today, America’s international broadcasting has fewer independent voices reaching the people who need them most.
Thirty-five years ago, in the jungle of North Sumatra, I met someone who would be devastated by this.
My latest post on Substack:

I’ve been working on this since early January.
I finally told myself: enough. It’s done. What started as a simple reflection turned into something much bigger—maybe too big. At times, it felt like I was writing another book. What do you think?
