My new #mglit novel is THE TENTH MISTAKE OF HANK HOOPERMAN, coming June 11.
In many ways, this book is inspired by childhood memories of my big brother.
Writing it was gripping, intense, and cathartic. I can't wait to share it with you.

Bitterly cold, seeing five days' worth of classes in three, so time for Guys Read Pink. Started in 2010- just a way to encourage everyone to read more "windows" books. #ootd #memade #librarianfashion

Liz Cheney: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”
America, your dishonor will remain.
