Out now, wherever books are sold.
THE VALLEY OF SAGE AND JUNIPER
1930s Rocky Mountain West. Two sisters. A ranch. A cult.

Read my new essay "Why Motherhood" in Minvera Rising's The Keeping Room:

@ThatEricAlper Was this made by my 4year old?

That moment you hear the razor going after you just cleaned the bathroom 🙃

@thisphantoml1fe As a curly-haired person, when I find someone I trust to cut my hair, we become exclusive.

[Shay Galloway @TheGallowCat]

@LexiBury @Hozier Yes, thank you!

[Shay Galloway @TheGallowCat]

When @Hozier released a new ep while you were ovulating and now you get no whiskey and no coffee for 9 months🧍🏾‍♀️

@raisedbygaysok I got a veggie platter or my 4yo's birthday party. The kids devoured the cauliflower, to the absolute surprise of all the adult, so idk, you might be the most popular one.

@LexiBury WA also doesn't get out until late June. Even colleges here are in session well into June.

#ParentingHack: When your kid tells you to come look at something right after you just sat down, hand them your phone and tell them to take a picture of it, then bring it back and show you.

I'm supposed to be going low-carb for gestational diabetes, but my neighbor brought over fresh made sourdough, and I am weak😭

[Shay Galloway @TheGallowCat]

My son can never remember the word "freckle" and instead regularly points out all his "nipples." 🤦🏾‍♀️

[Shay Galloway @TheGallowCat]

Thing I never thought I'd say as a parent: "My butt doesn't have any ears, bud, so I'm going to need to come over here and say it to my face."

[Shay Galloway @TheGallowCat]

When you drive your spouse's car to the store and forget, so you stand in the parking in a mild panic for a second thinking your car was stolen 🧍🏾‍♀️

@hfchitchat I think Selah would like Lilliet Berne from Alexander Chee's THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

[Shay Galloway @TheGallowCat]

@tracygrant @hfchitchat They'd probably just sit and mope

[Shay Galloway @TheGallowCat]

Looking forward to working with Heather!

[AWP @awpwriter]

Next up: We’re excited to welcome #AWPW2W mentor @TheGallowCat, author of the novel THE VALLEY OF SAGE AND JUNIPER. Her mentee is Heather Bailey Terrell; she has published nonfiction & works in a science museum but is eager to work on her novel. Can’t wait to see what lies ahead!

[Shay Galloway @TheGallowCat]

@Leisie93 @hfchitchat I think for me it mostly is due to having storylines that span 15 years and multiple POVs.
Someday I will write a single POV with a shorter timeline.
Two manuscripts have not been that day...😅
