I write books at nine thousand feet, in a small town in Colorado, mostly before the sun is up. This is a podcast about building things by hand: books, apps, mornings, a life, told quietly, to one person at a time. That person is you. From Galena House in Frisco, Colorado. New episodes when they are ready, and not before.

Pull up a chair. Take the one by the window.
The first snow in Frisco can't decide whether it's staying, and three things are waiting for you in this room: a table somebody else set, a little blue bowl that is going to stay exactly where it is, and one sentence from a notebook that might be worth more to you than anything else you hear today.
This one is for the keepers: the ones who remember the sugar, visit the radiator, and set the table for everyone else. It's about the difference between making a lovely life and being in it, about doors opening, and about what happens when, for once, someone else gets there first.
Keep a lamp near you. You'll be asked to turn it on.
Come In. It's Already Warm., the keeper's book, arrives at Thanksgiving. Signed copies are at averylanemaxwell.com/come-in (https://averylanemaxwell.com/come-in/).

Still Here, No. 3: Keeping September Company.
The aspens are louder than they look. Elias walks the creek as the valley turns gold and finds one green leaf that will not hurry, and August asks what it would mean to keep something company instead of keeping it. Green in front, gold behind. Both.
Still Here. is five readings from the house: Elias, read aloud by Avery Lane Maxwell. Every episode, and the films: averylanemaxwell.com/podcast · the letters: averylanemaxwell.com/letters
A note from the house: this is a personal podcast. Avery tells these stories as he remembers and understands them, from his own life and perspective. When other people wander into them, he protects what belongs to them.

Still Here, No. 2: The Fire Didn't Need Him.
A fire caught on the second match, scones folded twice and not four times, a forgotten order of eggs, and the old voice that says leave. Elias learns, one morning at a time, that a place cannot save you but it can keep the fire going while you change. For anyone tired of earning their place.
