Very happy to announce that my new novel, The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley, will be published by The Dial Press in March 2017, and by Tinder Press (UK) in April 2017. An excerpt ran in the Fall 2012 issue of Tin House and later in Best American Mystery Stories 2013.

Tales of Two Cities
I’ve got an essay in the new anthology TALES OF TWO CITIES, edited by John Freeman, illustrated by Molly Crabapple and released by OR Books (and now Penguin has put out a paperback). Proceeds support the non-profit Housing Works in their quest to end homelessness and AIDS.
Goodbye, Woody Creek
For the past few weeks I’ve been the writer in residence at the Aspen Writer’s Foundation. I’m so grateful to the crack-team who brought me out and took care of me while I was there, the board for their support of the program, the community of Woody Creek who was so warm and welcoming, and Isa Catto Shaw & Daniel Shaw, my gracious and lovely hosts, who made it all possible. You can find out more about the program and what I did there from Andrew Travers at The Aspen Times and Aspen Public Radio, where I was on Mitzi Rapkin’s show, First Drafts. Special thanks to the Woody Creek Community Center for hosting my goodbye bash. I’ll miss you all. Especially the bears.

All City Read

Write a short story with me.

Writing under the Big Blue Whale
Once more I’ll be teaching a creative writing class at the American Museum of Natural History, Tuesdays 6:00-8:30 pm, Feb. 25-March 25th. Come and explore the natural world and your own imagination as we wander the museum and its incredible exhibits after dark, pen and paper in hand. It’s like Night at the Museum, but with writers. This class quickly sold out last year, so I’d suggest signing up right away.
