I've been seeing lots of #CharlieKirk quotes posted on social media, but often without a lot of context, so I created this document that provides longer excerpts and as much contextual detail as would fit on the page.

I produce my webcomic, @trumpbert.bsky.social, by reusing a set of characters I commissioned from freelance illustrator Mahnaz Yazdani, mixing and matching and repositioning them as needed. Here are the strips from this week introducing two new characters that Mahnaz created for me.

Just received my author copies of the paperback edition of BRIDGE ACROSS THE SKY.

The sale actually happened two years ago, and it's finally been officially announced. I'm really excited about the degree to which this picture book is going to integrate Science and Story, Fact and Feeling, for readers young and old.

The #NoKings event at the Capitol building in St. Paul today, held in the shadow of this morning's shootings. There was a huge turnout despite the news and the weather.

Had a great time the week before last talking about my Angel Island novel on a panel of historical fiction writers presenting at the AWP Conference. (Thank you, @marthaconway.bsky.social, for inviting me to be part of the panel!) I also managed to book an appearance at a nearby high school.

It's fun when friends find my book out in the world. Photos that have been shared with me from Powell's Books, Books Inc. in Alameda, and a high school library in Philadelphia.

I created this graphic from data from wikipedia as of a few days ago, but it seems like you have a more current source, as wikipedia's vote totals right now are lower than the ones you're reporting. What's your source? I'll switch to it for future updates of the graphic.

I'll be presenting BRIDGE ACROSS THE SKY, my Angel Island novel (www.AngelIslandNovel.com) at the Twin Cities Book Festival on Saturday, October 19, at 3pm on the Youth & Comics stage. If you're in the area, come on by!
