Sonya Massey was somebody. She was treated like nothing by the officers who shot her after she called them for help. Sonya should still be alive today. We say ‘Black lives matter’ because it’s clear that to many, our lives don’t matter. Sonya mattered. We matter.

Walked into a bookstore in JFK thinking, “They’re not gonna have it.” But THEY HAVE MY NEW BOOK! So surreal.

I cherish these messages and return to them when doubt and fear and all the mess of publishing a novel descends. When my internal voice is less than a whisper.

Thank you for grabbing a copy, Tony. Also excited for you to dive in.

ICYMI: pumping Literary Fire in ya veins on my latest w/ Mateo Askaripour, discussing his new one, THIS GREAT HEMISPHERE. Topix: (1) taking big risks after a bestseller (2) shaking up the publishing industry, & (3) helping people feel seen. Only on A MIGHTY BLAZE 📚🕯🔥: bit.ly/3yfXhg1

Chatting with Doug and wprBETA is one of the things I look forward to most now when doing book publicity. Thanks for this conversation, Doug. Appreciate your energy.

On tour, I'd sometimes ask an audience to raise their hands if they'd ever felt invisible, and every hand would go up. I explore this feeling, as well as family, history, psychology, and the current state of the world, in my first piece for TIME. time.com/6995869/feelin…

Wonderful to see such talents Regina Porter and Mateo Askaripour in conversation last night at Books Are Magic! Happy pub week to The Rich People Have Gone Away by Regina Porter! And big shout out to This Great Hemisphere by Mateo Askaripour! 🎉🎊🎂🎉😍

What a headline. I promise, there's also levity, adventure, & characters to both root for & despise. Love–of family, self–paired with the belief that the world can be improved upon, is the novel's engine. Thanks to Carole V. Bell & The Boston Globe for this review: bostonglobe.com/2024/07/09/art…
