Happy #bookbirthday to my first fiction book, "Animal Husbandry (and Other Fictions)," released a year ago today. In a five-star review, Foreword Reviews says the stories "range from fun and bizarre to thought-provoking and emotional." Available in print, ebook, audiobook. Purchase link in comments.

Returned home from many nights on the road to a cool package. The new Korean translation of Rockin’ the Boat: 50 Iconic Revolutionaries from Joan of Arc to Malcolm X. Out this year.

Made it to #AWP. Lots of interesting sessions today. Some hard choices.

Signed some copies of my new fiction collection, Animal Husbandry, yesterday at The Book Stall in Winnetka if you’re in search of an autographed copy and/or looking for a holiday gift.

Got to spend today talking to media students at my undergraduate alma mater. There are still lots of impressive students entering the news workforce.

Thank you to Secret World Books for a great event last night. If you wanted to make it but couldn't, Jeremy Wilson and I each signed a few extra copies of our books for stock.

Had a school visit to talk with (a smart group of) students about the election results. Most of their questions concerned their fears about the impact of misinformation, so this Reuters and Ipsos survey seemed a relevant data point.

Hey folks. My eighth book, #CivicMinded, arrives in stores Oct. 1. @ALA_Booklist: "A strong choice for public and school libraries any time, but particularly during an election year." @KirkusReviews: "Every American can benefit from this book." lernerbooks.com/shop/show/24...

Friendly reminder to support your local library. And help out your friendly neighborhood authors by asking your library to order copies of their books. It's a big help and lets students who can't afford books get a chance to read them.

Six books in, still love getting to see them in the wild, including the new edition at Chicago Public Library.

If the Chicago Sky is going to keep losing stars every season, my puppy is ready to help Air Bud style.

With the new Third Edition of Votes of Confidence out in March - smack in the midst of primary season - starting to schedule spring author visits. If your store/library/school is interested, you can reach out to me directly or via Lerner Books/Zest Books.

Advance reading copies (ARCs) of #VotesofConfidence 3rd Edition for #Election2024 are on their way to review publications. If your magazine or news organization needs one, message me.

Preorders are also available for everyone, and you can support your #localbookstore at this link. lnkd.in/gm9wycq2
