Real quick, click here for the SUNY Geneseo Facebook event page. Tomorrow! 9pm! Come meet my dad!

So I’m off, traveling for three months of shows. Life on the road definitely wears on me. I am always in public and rarely alone. The bus/train/plane leaves early and the shows run late. That being said, I am always extremely grateful for this opportunity and SO thankful for every stage, microphone, and audience member. This time around, I’ve thought a lot about what could help me stay happy and healthy. Here are THREE I’ve come up with:

1. DANCE AT GAY BARS - Not only is dancing a great workout, it is a stress-reliever. I don’t enjoy dancing at non-gay friendly clubs because I’m there to have fun and dance in my own personal bubble, not feel like I’m on an episode of a National Geographic show on predators. 

2. SHOP AT GROCERY STORES - Eating at truck stops, fast food joints and vending machines gets real old real fast. Don’t get me wrong. I have a killer sweet tooth. I love salt and feel like I personally discovered butter in 2007. But more importantly, I love fruits, raw veggies and home-cooked meals. I’m even contemplating going vegetarian for the next couple months just for the mental reminder to be conscious of what I eat. 

3. CALL HOME - It’s really easy to get caught up in what is around me. I want my loved ones to know that I miss them and am thinking about them, because I always am. I just forget to show it all the time.

Any suggestions for more tour goals?

JUST KIDDING IT DOESN’T EXIST!

So here is the dealio: my second book is being released by Write Bloody Publishing at the end of January. I am extremely proud of this book and all the hard work I put into it. I can honestly say that I evolved during the writing process and that is one of the most rewarding feelings I have ever felt as an artist.

Sierra, what does this have to do with me? I’ll tell you. This book is very different from my first (in good ways, I assure you) and I wanted the chance to talk about it with y’all first. But me talking about just my book is boring, no?

So, ask me a question. It can be about my writing process, my book title, my preferred footwear, my favorite poets, anything. It will be like a weird, online truth or dare game, without the dare and teen-angst. I am going to collect my favorite questions and answer all your curiosities in a youtube video, as well as talk about exciting details about my book! Sound good? Any questions? I hope so…

Find the ask button on my tumblr page, facebook message me or email me at sierrademulder@gmail.com. Thanks! xo Sierra

1. I have been waking up at 6am the past two weeks just to do work all day for my upcoming Write Bloody book tour and book release show. It feels good to be productive and dedicated, but I am reminded again of how much work being an independent artist is. So many details, so many emails. The constant grind. 

2. My book release show finally booked a venue and date. January 29th, 7pm at Honey in Minneapolis. It is going to be such an amazing show. The openers are Kerry Alexander, John Jodzio, and A LOUD HEART (Guante & Claire Taubenhaus). I’ll be posting the FB event page, etc.

3. I am still booking shows for this spring! Email me at sierrademulder@gmail.com if you have any leads or questions. I’ll post the tour schedule soon!

4. This crazy man will be hosting my book release show.
