The last of the Maryland book tour photos. I saw some old friends and made a few new ones and did that absurd tourist thing where you put your finger on the Washington monument. I will miss the people and their traffic.

Range of Motion is officially out today. It took 10+ years. No matter how difficult the writing was, deep down I knew a character like my twin brother needed to exist. Don’t give up, kids. @acrebooks.bsky.social #briantrapp #acrebooks #smallpressbooks #rangeofmotion #newfiction #caregiving

One of my favorite comedians blurbed my book. Zach Anner, actor and writer for ABC's Speechless, gave my novel the kindest endorsement I could ask for. Please watch the hilarious Speechless episode where he gets tased by Minnie Driver. This man deserves his own TV show. @acrebooks.bsky.social

Happy to receive this wonderful endorsement from the great @elizabethmck.bsky.social, author of one of my favorite novels, The Portable Veblen. When I meet someone who also loves that book, it’s like a delightful secret we share. Please read it! @acrebooks.bsky.social

One month until Range of Motion officially drops from @acrebooks.bsky.social. Happy to share this fantastic blurb from Jonathan Evison. I love his novel The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving, which was made into a @netflix.com film starring Paul Rudd.
