Today marks one year since the release of THE LOWEST BASIN!

Thank you @gritvanwinkle and @CowboyJamboree and @piper_center and @PENamerica and Mark Athitakis at Southwest Books of the Year and @TFOB and Northern AZ Book Fest and everyone who got a copy for changing my life!

"Ross McMeekin’s novel Pepperleaf offers sharp perspective on modern suburban life."
Today I have an annotated playlist accompanying Pepperleaf in Largehearted Boy. Thanks to David Gutowski for having me! https://t.co/rZnEayctcF

Mesa Bookmans, doing the Lord’s work

Also, if you haven’t checked out Sabrina Hicks COYOTE GIRL from @CowboyJamboree, you’re missing out! It’s too is one of the absolute best collections I’ve ever read!

[Jonathan Danielson @JonathanIn2K]

Me, writing last night: man I’m tired. Well, I’m going to bed. The work will still be there tomorrow.

Me, this morning: oh God, the work is still here!

[Jonathan Danielson @JonathanIn2K]

Just reread “The Rainmakers of the Longhorn League” and it absolutely, 100% wrecked me

[Jonathan Danielson @JonathanIn2K]

Seriously, though, @TexasMonthly reeeeeeally needs to do a profile on Kevin Grauke’s short story collection, WEST OF DESTRY from @CowboyJamboree

I had the chance to blurb it, and I’m rereading it right now, and my God if it isn’t one of the best collections I’ve ever read

[Jonathan Danielson @JonathanIn2K]

@StanchionZine The dude is incredible. And so freaking nice. Also! In his 20s, he was the lead singer for a super famous French version of Limp Bizkit haha

[Jonathan Danielson @JonathanIn2K]

The two images inspiring this novel in progress. “Arizona Cannonball” and “Sonora Magnetism” by Mark Maggiori, who I used to run into every now and then and who is incredibly nice.

[Suns Uniform Tracker @SunsUniTracker]

Modernized Classics, you say?

Cooked up a new kit for the Suns - haven't done one of these in a while so it was fun.

A nod to multiple eras and different enough that they can use it full-time (can't do that with 90s sunburst uniforms because... reasons).

@Mishbia15 let me cook!

Give us a throwback @NewEraCap

[Erik Ruby @ErikRuby]

Insane find in my childhood bedroom

[geraldo perdomo’s biggest fan (she/her) @azgeraldomarte]

petition for us to get to wear these throwbacks during our 2001 reunion against the yankees in september

[Jonathan Danielson @JonathanIn2K]

@SunsUniTracker I’d be willing to trade Lawlar for a new clock at Chase.

[Jonathan Danielson @JonathanIn2K]

This is fun. This novel I’m working on takes place in Arizona at 1912, and I just decided to make the 19-year-old Prescott telegraph operator the grandfather of one of the characters from my story collection.

[Jonathan Danielson @JonathanIn2K]

I’m turning 43 this year. Time to get really interested in the career trajectory of the band, Days of the New.

Nebraska has a great baseball stadium, would love if ASU could find a way to add GA grass seating…. Maybe down the LF line?

[Jonathan Danielson @JonathanIn2K]

Well, everyone has an opinion, I guess.

But dude, seriously. Thank you. Overwhelmed.

Momento Mori, I whisper, as I watch my favorite baseball team blow it

[Benjamin Garcia @BenGarciaShow]

Yes, I'm judging your Phoenix Suns fandom if you're rooting for the San Antonio Spurs.

You're also telling on yourself about how long you've been a fan.

Go Knicks.

Might be the Ross find of the weekend
