Jamie’s Substack

A newsletter about the history behind today's politics.

I write to shine a light on a dim or otherwise pitch black corner...to provide relief for myself and others. It's the light that I am looking for. And the wonder it illuminates. May my words land in your heart. yours, Laura

Paperback Pirates is a biweekly philosophy newsletter. Readers should expect engaging and thoughtful essays about life and what it means to live well. Book reviews, occasional musings, and storytelling are also par for the course here.

This is a newsletter that addresses issues mostly related to Montana. I have published eight books, all of which address in one way an issue that is interesting and vital to me regarding what it means to grow up in the West, and particularly in Montana.

Grace for fuck-ups. Prayer for the impious. A space for spiritual misfits.
