NYT bestselling author of HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET and THE MANY DAUGHTERS OF AFONG MOY. Decent writer. Failed poet. Stridently self-deprecating.

U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan leads the National Archives, which oversees billions of government documents, photos, & records. But instead of educating the public about WWII incarceration & other dark chapters of American history, Shogan has spent the last year erasing history.

In 'The Many Daughters of Afong Moy' by @JamieFord, fearing that her child will endure the same depression that has marked her own life, a poet tries an experimental treatment that connects her to past generations of women in her family.

I pop over here once in a while to keep my Twitter name from being deleted. Having accomplished that, I have to say that every time I'm here this place looks more like a deranged HOA with Elon as board president.

I would like it much better if corporate personality tests told you what class of D&D character you are. Instead of "You're an (INFP)", it might say something like, "You're a Chaotic Good, Elvish Ranger, with high Dexterity, but weak Charisma."

I wish I could say I'm shocked that cops are beating peaceful protestors and then charging them with assault, but that's been in the unspoken police playbook for about 100 years now.

As a kid, James at 15, gave my weird writerly heart a place to go, where things made sense. Wish I'd been able to meet him last time I was in Indy. RIP Dan Wakefield. deadline.com/2024/03/dan-wakâŠ
