Today's episode of TWILIGHT OF THE GODS blurbmania features renaissance woman Iris Smyles offering her take on my new book. "Propulsive myth-soaked noir," if you enjoy that sort of thing.

Happiest of publication days to @rankoutsider.bsky.social. Thrilling and poignant in equal turns, LOW APRIL SUN is a smart, searing take on 1995's Oklahoma City bombing and its aftermath. I'm appearing with Connie several times during March-April. Please come see us in New York, OKC, or Santa Fe.

Another blurb for the forthcoming TWILIGHT OF THE GODS. Thanks to the incredibly generous Matthew Specktor for comparing my work to that of two of my greatest literary heroes, Martin Amis and Vladimir Nabokov. Don't worry! I don't really believe it.
