I got to moderate the book launch for Collective Chaos: A Roller Derby Team Memoir!

I’ve gone to a ton of book events in the past decade and have had a dozen or so opportunities to share my own work, but moderating the book launch for a friend’s book was a first! It was so nice to be on the other side of the venue for a fun, supportive reason.

I’m fortunate to live in a city with multiple skater/writers. Jonathan Russell Clark wrote the Object Lessons book on Skateboards; my book, Midwest Shreds: Skating Through America’s Heartland (yes, that’s a new subtitle!) is forthcoming; and, most recently, my friends Samantha Tucker and Amy Spears released Collective Chaos: A Roller Derby Team Memoir!

I got to moderate the book launch for Collective Chaos, which turned into more of a comedy set than a traditional release event. I got a video, so check it out. :)
