Forrest Carter, whose Native American-themed “The Education of Little Tree” turned out to be written by one Asa Carter, who was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

Before 'American Dirt,' a 1980s literary hoax tested the limits of authenticity

On a whim I decided to walk to the bookstore and found this - I’ve only read the first few pages and they are gold.

Three random winners will each receive a CD set valued at $39.99 (U.S.). To enter, you must: 1) reblog this post, and 2) be following macrolit on Tumblr (yes, we will check ;P). Easy, right? We’ll randomly choose one winner on each of the following days: 11 April (the day If We Were Villains is released), 25 April, and 9 May. This giveaway is open to residents of the United States and Canada only. Good luck! Listen to the Prologue Pre-order here

Short fiction appeals to me because of the necessity of conciseness—that’s what writing songs is about, but times 20. I like people who can build something great and huge with a very limited amount of time or space. It’s difficult to do.

It’s a fresh level of nerdiness when you recognize a book by its dedication page

I received my button set yesterday for The Song RIsing, and they are so cool! The “Join the Revolution” one is my personal favorite. When you preorder the book through March 6, 2017 and upload your proof of purchase here, you will receive a button set and a set of awesome tattoos. Because who doesn’t want to rock a temporary black moth tattoo?! (I’m too chicken to get an actual tattoo, so the answer is me) So don’t forget to preorder, because time is almost up!

I just got my preordered copy in the mail today - hope the buttons and tattoos arrive soon, as well!

What are we as women, other than barnacles that attach themselves to higher life forms in some pathetic attempt to clean up messes? Tidy up what men have left behind—make the world a lovelier, better place for men. I would like to play a part in which I don't have a superior.
