Jesse is back to talk more in depth about our connection to one another. Jesse edited my forthcoming book from Pig Roast Publishing, The Bottomfeeder, and we talk about that experience and my anxiety about releasing such a personal book in the future. It's good to have friends you can count on and Jesse is an earnestly supportive member of our scene. He's also an incredible writer with a savant-like ability to dip in and out of genres. His latest book, The Tattletales, is a noir detective thriller that drives like a dream, but we mostly reference his first crime novel, Blood Trip, because it made his home life awkward when he released it. Blood Trip, released shortly after his ex-wife remarried, is a book about a divorced dad who stages the kidnapping of his daughter and the murder of her stepfather. Carla and her partner Hilda Hoy are also in the store and chime in about whether I'll be cancelled for writing openly about being a mom who smokes pot.
