It all started with a little memoir called At Least I'm Not The Frog, which I began writing in late 2020. I still remember typing up a storm on those first few pages, discovering the joy of writing and exploring my relationship with addiction. At the time, I simply wanted to tell my story, and hadn't thought any further than that.It was around October of 2021 that an idea struck me: why not write a trilogy of quit lit memoirs? Everything is a franchise nowadays, so why not have addiction and sobriety represented as well? What an exciting moment!

With the upcoming release of The Frog's Bottle, I have put together a playlist of songs! These are the songs I played the most while writing The Frog's Bottle. Listen to them in any order, and happy reading! And if my music isn't your thing, that's alright! I'd encourage you to make a playlist of music you enjoy! "I Still See Your Face" - San Holo"Souvenirs" - JERAN"Too Late" - Minke"Stay Here" - ASKYA (I listened to this on repeat while writing Chapter 30: Bad Company.)"Lost In The Woods" - Enjune"Heart So Big" - Matoma, A R I Z O N A"The Light In Your Eyes" - LeAnn Rimes"SNAP" - Rosa...…With the upcoming release of The Frog's Bottle, I have put together a playlist of songs!

Quite a chunk of time has passed since my last blog post, hasn't it? Meh, no matter. Tomato, tow-mot-o.It's wild to think I am three years, nine months, and twenty-two days sober. If someone had told me in January of 2020 (admittedly the second worst month of my entire life) that my life was on the brink of positive change, I would have farted in their face. Yet it was true. On July 8th, 2020, my life changed forever by getting sober. But that is not what this post is about. I've written three books and many posts on that particular topic.No, this post is about how I've stayed sober...…Quite a chunk of time has passed since my last blog post, hasn't it? Meh, no matter.

Michael Rivera, Townsquare MediaAlmost 50 years ago, when the upper floors of the Potter County courthouse served as the Potter County jail, an incident took place that shook the city of Amarillo and made national headlines. In 1974, there was what was hailed as a jail revolt resulting in a hostage situation and the death of an inmate.When the New York Times wrote about the incident, they painted a picture of something that seemed almost straight from an action movie. According to them, officers "blasted" their way into the jail to free a hostage.
