This week in The Stoneslide Corrective we are happy to unveil our new feature: a bad life-decisions advice column. It’s called The Tank. We’ll be offering advice so bad it might actually be good.

In a few weeks, we will also be releasing our next book, a novel about a young woman who makes bad decisions again and again. It tracks a summer and fall in the life of 30-year-old Juliet. Juliet has recently been widowed. As she tries to rebuild herself and tries to create a new existence beyond grief, her decisions are often off-kilter. However, her day-to-day life is more adventurous than it’s ever been. Check out the first chapter of Gracious Living Without Servants by Wall Street Journal reporter Brenda Cronin.

And of course, for bad advice, check out The Tank. If you would like to receive bad advice tailored specifically to you, simply use the form there to write a letter to The Tank.
