In time for Memorial Day, As You Were Vol. 22 is now live! Please continue to honor the legacy of our fallen service members by reading the stories of those who bear witness to their legacy.

April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, giving sinus headaches and sneezes, stirring vengeful dust and pollen.
My “Going to Spain” reading list:
The Sun Also Rises (how NOT to behave abroad)
The Interior Castle (St. Teresa is my girl!)
La Amante Guerra (bc I need more Marauja Torres. Full stop.)
What We Tried to Bury Grows Here (already at the top of TBR)
Other recs, esp. by modern authors?

In my author’s note, I said that I hoped Midwatch would inspire other women service members to tell their stories. That hope remains true, and is more than ever. We exist in a period of uncertainty and indeterminacy, but make no mistake about it – morning will arrive. Until then, keep writing.

When writing the stories in Midwatch, I naïvely envisioned readers wondering, “Were things really that bad back then?” With recent DoD policy and leadership changes, these stories continue to be a reality for what many women & LGBTQ+ service members experience today.
Midwatch turns one today!
In this past year, I’ve learned much and am grateful for even more. Thank you so much to the entire @splitlippress.com team for taking a chance on this crazy little collection and helping to bring it into the world.
Thrilled and grateful can hardly sum it up. I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with the @splitlippress.com team!
