    About this ebook

      Last week I accidentally (and ironically) donated my husband’s beloved copy of Spark Joy by Marie Kondo to the charity shop. This action sparked arguments, so I spent the next few days trying to claw it back, along with all his other favourite books

      Joshua Mohr: The Time I Robbed a Liquor Store

      Mar 10, 2017

      Our alibi was a sandy blanket in the back of my truck, an acoustic guitar, a knockout brunette in the passenger seat. Our alibi was a night picnic at the beach. When we got pulled over—if we got pulled over—the cop would peer in the cab and he’d thin

      What makes you happy? Being a novelist, a ‘happy ending’ is when I conclude my final chapter, drop my pen and gasp, ‘Thank God that’s over.’ Before coronavirus, ‘happiness’ was nothing more than a peculiar feeling that came over me when I was too bus

      There isn't much that we can do here in a Level 5 maximum-security prison—which is where they send us unmanageable inmates, to seclude us even further. So I write, read, watch TV and occasionally look out my window, watching the prisoners from the ot

      I was in the tire shop’s waiting area, thumbing through an old magazine, when the wizened old lady coming in the door stopped like she’d been hit in the face with a mop. “Well! I never!” she said, and gave me a look that could have curdled milk. Then
