Thrill Me was my guide while writing my novel; my cork board is covered in its advice.
And Dead Lands sits over my shoulder at my writing desk reminding me what good fiction can do.
I'm so deeply honored.

When I first had the idea for Escape! I wanted it to be a ‘literary thriller,’ to have depth and humanity but also be fast-paced and fun. I worked so hard to create that propulsion, so I was honored—and relieved!—when Janelle Brown of all people gave me this incredible blurb!

I'm so excited that @text_publishing has agreed to publish Escape! in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK! LOOK AT THIS GORGEOUS COVER!!!!

Nathan Hill is one of my favorite authors. His books are vast and emotionally complex, but also hilarious and antic, wrestling with major social themes even as they delight in their comic characters.
Having him blurb my novel is such a profound honor, and hopefully speaks to Escape!’s DNA.

I screamed when I got this blurb.
I’ve been reading Emily Nussbaum for decades now. Not only is she one of the most insightful tv critics, but she literally wrote the book on reality television with Cue the Sun!

Happy pub day to my great friend @pollackpelzner.bsky.social and his extraordinary biography of Lin-Manuel Miranda. This book is a delight. It tells Lin's story through the lens of how he became such an incredible artist. It's fast-paced, funny, and humane.
I loved it and believe you will too!

I've been reading Magic Treehouse books to my 4.5 year old, and she was particularly engaged by the story where they visit a moon base in the future.
Any other sci-fi books for preschoolers that you'd recommend? Looking for stories without violence.

If Rupert is on #survivor 50 would you want him to be the same lovable rupert with the tie-dye shirt or a mercenary dark-Rupert, bitter and cynical, using all his accumulated rage to manipulate and destroy his foes?

Her name is Kelley. She’s a really good person and actually playing a pretty good game so far, so let’s at least respect her enough to call her by her name when you’re fishing for votes.
