Thank you for this tremendous honor. I will see you in Columbus in May!

Im so thrilled you enjoyed it! And since writing is often a solitary endeavor, I have two dogs snoozing at my feet. It definitely makes life better. 🐕🇮🇹

You are doing this right. Happy reading! 🐕🇮🇹

A promotional graphic featuring author Steven Rowley and his book 'The Guncle.' On the left, a smiling man with a beard, wearing clear-framed glasses and a black sweater over a white collared shirt, is photographed against a blurred outdoor background. On the right, the book cover of 'The Guncle' is displayed, with bright yellow and blue colors, an illustration of a man in a green robe walking by a pool with two children and a dog, and the title in large, playful letters. A quote from People magazine calls the book 'Wise and hilarious.' Below, the KPL Podcast logo appears with the tagline 'Discover More.'

I would LOVE to come to Toronto one day! Hopefully we can make it work. (Or, you know, MOVE to Toronto the way things are crumbling here. 🇨🇦)

St. Louis, save the date! May 21. Can’t wait. @kirkwoodlib.bsky.social

Thank you so much! Hard at work on something new. 🩵

I love this so much and you absolutely MUST see The Sound of Music now. (I believe it’s streaming on Hulu.) This year is the film’s 60th anniversary and it’s as incredible as ever! Thank you for taking this trip abroad with me. 🙂

This week marks ten years since I signed with my wonderful agent after years of countless rejections. I wasn’t sure publishing was meant for me. Five books later, THREE of them are on this week’s USA Today Bestseller List. What a journey. Dreams can and do come true! KEEP GOING.

I’m at the point in my new manuscript where it made sense to drive three hours away from it and take in the ocean air as if I have a Victorian disease. #AmWriting

Thank you so much! Writing a sequel is daunting — you don’t want to interfere with any goodwill readers have for the original. I’m so glad you enjoyed this as much if not more.

Thank you for reading! It’s daunting writing a sequel — you don’t want to interfere with any goodwill for the original or diminish its memory in readers’ minds. I’m thrilled in this case the sequel lived up to expectations!

Thank YOU for reading. I’m so thrilled you’re enjoying the listen. And hope you enjoy your trip abroad just as much!

Haha. You’re looking for the alt.
