The BryonySeries has an official holiday and it is called Calkins Day!.
Calkins Day is the birthday of Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, and Ed invented Calkins Day before I'd even met him back in September 2007, before I turned him into an Irish vampire on Calkins Day 2008.
Ed used to credit/blame the origins of Calkins Day on his ruthlessness.
But WE say Calkins Day is a day to celebrate laughter, imagination, and generosity (Ed has all three traits) and perhaps triumph over our struggles, for Ed has overcome dyslexia to write four books, and we are celebrating the release of the final book in his BryonySeries Ruthless trilogy tonight: "Recovering Ruthless."
So for a Calkins Day primer, this post has plenty of information and backlinks for your to travel.
But of if you want the transformational story, please read Ed's post "How I Became Famous."
And if you are in the area and somewhat available, please join us tonight for Calkins Day 2025, 6 to 8:30 p.m., at The Book Market in Crest Hill.
If you must celebrate virtually, please check out our "Guide to Becoming Un-Serious."
Happy Calkins Day!
