It’s always good to do a book event and I wanted to reshare this recap from my presentation of Penumbra at El Book Stop in Santurce. If you’re looking for books to gift during the holidays, remember that shopping local is now more important than ever.

I love when friends decide a Gregg McBride double feature is the best way to usher in the new year 🍿 (They’re not wrong! LOL!)

I’m writing a book about Coincidence. A nice one: The Stones recorded ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ in June ’68. They changed “Who killed John Kennedy” to “Who killed the Kennedys” when news came through, while recording, that Robert K. had been shot. From last year: www.theguardian.com/world/2023/a...

Always impressed with how hands on @anaisbelieve.bsky.social is with all her work, from cover to what she writes and one of the most unique things is the album interpretations of her work.
