I have a new book coming out! Her name is Veronica Place, and she just wants to be held. Preorder her now, and my publisher/editor/#1 enabler @charoshane.bsky.social will knock a few bucks off her sticker price! Most things cost more than $14…but not my book! www.tigerbeepress.com/store/p22/Ve...

Veronica Place Pre-order!

Once, while on tour in Manchester, England, three trans women burst out crying as I spoke. Turns out, due to EHRC, they had just been kicked off their local soccer team, a club in which no one won anything except for new friends, and from which no one wanted them to leave.

Sites like this are the future of real writing. We have a chance to wrestle legitimacy and culture away from the ossified tyrants who have used it to promote bigotry and state agendas, and we have to seize that chance.

my book came out in paperback yesterday, and to celebrate, I fell off my motorcycle at a very low speed and skinned a finger. In bookstores wherever quality books are sold. Stag Dance, also, is the title. I'm fine.

Next week, STAG DANCE, will be issued with 100% less cardboard and half price. It's a new thing I'm trying, which I've been calling "paperback." Here's a little graphic I had whipped up to trial the idea.

bookforum is sponsoring Reading Writers this season, and CharJo are the kind of hosts that let me get earnest in a way I almost never let myself and I feel good about it! also I got to talk about Light Eaters which is a very powerful book to me

Hey, queer Baltimore: one of the free books in Pratt Library's summer giveaway this year is Torrey Peters' brand-new "Stag Dance". It's great. Not every branch has it but I saw it today at the Canton & Highlandtown branches and at Orleans St last week. Just show your library card to get a free copy.

A copy of Torrey Peters' new hardback story collection "Stag Dance" stands in front of a stack of the same book on a shelf. The cover is an illustration of two male deer with antlers fighting. One is lunging with its antlers and the other is turning its head with its tongue hanging out and looks scared. It has a pink ribbon tied to one antler. The author's name and the title are in bold pink block letters.

Audible named Stag Dance as one of the BEST AUDIOBOOKS OF THE YEAR (so far), and while I feel mixed on these lists--I really want to highlight the four voice actors Lee Osorio, Briggon Snow, Eileen Noonan, and Pyrrha Nicole, who brought PERFORMANCES to what could have been just a reading.

waking early to read Grapes of Wrath--which, somehow, I always thought would be hokey--but the dustbowl descriptions are gorgeous and terrifying, the capitalist anger feels righteous, and when I look up from the page the sun comes up red behind smoke and dust from Canada.

I wrote a letter for Jami Attenberg's 1000 words of summer-- in which Jami invites guest authors (so far, Kristen Arnett and Karen Russell) to offer writing advice to people who commit to trying to write 1000 words a day for the summer to complete a book. Mine is on the pleasure of being insulted.

I'm not quite done reading Torrey Peters's Stag Dance, but I love it so much. Just a fabulous collection. All of y'all who love short stories should get a copy if you don't already have one.
