I’m writing a book about Las Vegas! It’s called Flamingo Road, and takes off from the pieces I’ve written about the city. I’m so excited to be working with the legendary Bob Weil, the fantastic @ginabiaquinta, and everyone @LiverightPub.

I have a “Postcard from Las Vegas” in the great Spike Art Magazine’s Summer 25 issue, “VULGARITY.” I wrote an essay about Fremont Street, and I’m super excited to say that I also took all the photos for it. @spike_art ✨✨
If you’re frequently trash-talking my husband here and on Bluesky (where you think no one sees it), I’m not going to interact with you when you come into my mentions. I won’t block you unless you’re nasty to me but you definitely lost your interaction privileges. 🧐
