MIDDLE SPOON, Sept 2025 @vikingbooks.bsky.social. Not the book I set out to write, but the one I needed to. Couldn't be prouder of it. I hope it induces dialog, empathy, & fits of laughter. Pre-orders welcome. (Link in bio.) Thanks for supporting me/my work. 🙏🏽 Colin Webber for the design.

I withdrew my work from consideration for the Jean Stein Award. I can't align myself with a human rights org that waits 5 months to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, while platforming zionists & pretending there's nuance to genocide.

Had a dentist appt a couple months ago, during which I told her about my first book. She was effusive, but I assumed she was being polite. Had a follow-up yesterday & my novel was in the waiting area. She was already the best dentist I've ever had. Will wait till cleaning to tell her about 2nd book.
