Dear Stoneslide Corrective, Yes, it is all too true. [Advice to Expectant Mothers.] I am uncool and unfashionable as can be, according to my 13-year-old daughter. And even, sometimes, my son.

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 […]
