This is a very special Byronbook I wrote after moving my mom into assisted living.

She was cool. I spiraled.

This book documents what helped me find myself again.

Anytime I’m feeling gray, I turn to these very personal lessons from life, therapy, Carrie Fisher, and at least one self-help guru from the 1980s.

I wrote it, designed it, printed and folded and stapled it, and can mail you one if you want.

This is a Byronbook I wrote because Carrie Fisher once told me, “Take your broken heart and go make art.”

It’s about a time I like a failure. And how I found my way back.

It’s about perseverance, being creative, facing setbacks and looking for meaning in life. Sometimes it helps.

I wrote it, designed it, printed and folded and stapled it, and can mail you one if you want.

Big Gay Wedding follows Barnett Durang, who plans to marry his fiancé on his mother’s Louisiana rescue farm—without telling her first. As hundreds of guests descend from the “heathen coasts,” family wounds and small-town tensions collide with glitter, love, and unapologetic joy.

Over one unforgettable week, this unlikely wedding becomes a riotous, tender celebration of love, identity, and letting the future look different from the past.

Schitt’s Creek meets Father of the Bride.

Audiobook narrated by actor Noah Galvin (The Real O’Neals, Dear Evan Hansen)

A Star Is Bored follows Charlie Besson as he embarks on a chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly tender journey as personal assistant to movie star Kathi Kannon—icon, author, eccentric, and whirlwind of Hollywood chaos.

Over three wild years, their bond deepens into a fierce, funny friendship that forces Charlie to confront whether he’ll live on the sidelines forever or step into the leading role of his own life.

Inspired by the author’s time as assistant to beloved actress and author Carrie Fisher.

The Devil Wears Prada vibes, but queer and with heart.
