I'm looking forward to talking CHASING SHADOWS tomorrow at the Hilton Mystic with my co-author Greg Skomal. The event is co-hosted by Mystic Aquarium and Living Sharks Museum, with Bank Square Books. Tickets: ramp.mysticaquarium.org/48813/48814


This is a mount of the first white shark Greg Skomal saw in the flesh. It was 1983 in Mystic, CT, and last night, Greg and I presented our book CHASING SHADOWS (William Morrow) to a full house at an event hosted by Mystic Aquarium and Living Sharks Museum. Full circle moment!


3 years ago, I published this NatGeo article w/ Rachael Bale, one of my fav editors. I'm still conflicted that this fatal shark attack likely benefitted the sale of CHASING SHADOWS, my new book written with scientist Greg Skomal that came out this month nationalgeographic.com/animals/articlā¦

Come see us Saturday at Sherman's Books in Rockland. Karen Talbot Art and I will b3 personalizing copies of CHASING SHADOWS and talking sharks from 1 to 3pm.



I'll be signing CHASING SHADOWS (@williammorrowbooks) at Sherman's Books Rockland today fr 1-3. The book, written with shark biologist Greg Skomal, is about the resurgence of the white shark population off New England. Karen Talbot Art will be with me to illustrate your book!

Thanks to White Birch Books for hosting me last night! What a great audience and outstanding host. Greg Skomal and I are so thankful to indie bookstores like White Birch for helping us spread the word about this remarkable conservation success story! #chasingshadows William Morrow


Later today, Karen Talbot Art and I will be signing and illustrating copies of CHASING SHADOWS at the Maine State Aquarium in West Boothbay during their Sharkfest open house. Come learn about shark research in Maine with the State's top experts, and grab a personalized book!


63 years ago today, John Brodeur suffered a shark bite off Sea Girt, NJ, which Greg Skomal and I argue in CHASING SHADOWS (William Morrow) was the most consequential shark incident to date in the western North Atlantic insofar as shark science was concerned.

I love doing events w/ my wife, the talented scientific illustrator Karen Talbot Art. She created the art for CHASING SHADOWS & here she is at a recent event at Maine State Aquarium. If you're interested in us giving a talk or hosting an educational table at your event, please reach out
