I have a new story at The Journal about an old man who can't find his sandwich and the light switch and also there's an alien invasion happening. Definitely not me projecting all my weird fears at all! Also the old man is the man from the Carver story Neighbors. thejournalmag.org/archives/23490

Got a message on our old landline from someone obviously running some kind of scam about placing books in the LA Book festival, in this case an old collection of mine, and what a weird lame sad scam to run. Come on scammers, we used to skyjack planes then jump out of them in this country.
