Seven months of watching, note taking, researching, and writing — 153 episodes, a revival series, and thousands of references later — the manuscript for my next book, Gilmore Girls Pop Culture Reference Guide, has been turned in to my editor. It’ll hit shelves in February 2026.

Coming soon. #gilmoregirls

That’s a wrap. Finished watching Gilmore Girls — seven seasons plus A Year in the Life.

Thousands of pop culture references. Lots of writing to do.

A little over three months to finish the manuscript for Gilmore Girls Pop Culture Reference Guide.

Gilmore Girls Pop Culture Guide Book Update:

Viewing progress: S4E22
Writing progress: S4E8.

The ep “Application Anxiety” was anxiety-inducing. Well over 100 references. And this family? Creepy af.

Also slight dip in reference frequency in season 4. Curious about S5.

As you probably know, my previous book was the same concept for The Golden Girls. If there’s a show that has more pop culture references (and an equally devoted fan base), it’s Gilmore Girls. I’m looking forward to sharing this one with the world. Stay tuned.

BOOK NEWS: I’m excited to share that my next book, Gilmore Girls Pop Culture Reference Guide, is coming in 2026 from Lyons Press/Globe Pequot! It’s an episode-by-episode encyclopedia of the show’s thousands of pop culture references. And there are thousands!

I first discovered the name Allee Willis as a teen in the liner notes of Cyndi Lauper’s remarkable album Hat Full of Stars. If you don’t recognize the name, you certainly know the permanent mark Allee’s art has made. Check out the doc The World According to Allee Willis on Amazon Prime.

The Definitive Golden Girls Cultural Reference Guide is an episode-by-episode encyclopedia of the thousands of pop culture references made on the show.

(And my next book just might be akin to this one…) 🤔

Chicks and the City is a children’s picture book about urban agriculture. Chicken Stu stows away in a truck from the farm to the city, has a bit of an identity crisis when he gets there, but ends up discovering all the ways farming and gardening happen in urban areas.

I have some book news coming soon, so I thought I’d stroll down memory lane with my previous books while we wait.

Bookstore Explorer: West Virginia is a travel guide to the indie bookshops in my home state. It came out 5 mins before the pandemic hit, so it had a shorter shelf life than it deserved.

Current Read — Cher: The Memoir Part One. Perfect author bio.
