Hello friends. It’s cover reveal time for BITTERSWEET, the memoir I’ve been working on for nearly half a decade. I’m so excited for this to be out in the world come next April. Pre-order from East Vancouver’s Iron Dog Books or whatever local bookstore you support. irondogbooks.com/item/AS48k97...
The cover of Harrison Mooney’s Bittersweet is the silhouette of two starlings pecking at fresh oranges on a branch. The book is midnight blue. The title font is white. My byline is orange. You can tell at a glance it’s a very good book.

People are smoking again because “modern life sucks?” Collosally stupid. You know what sucks? Dying of cancer in your mid-40s leaving behind 3 young kids because u smoked your whole adult life, like my older brother did. Feels like yet another manipulative “big tobacco” marketing campaign to me.

I say it often but once again: By granting them borrowing privileges and protecting their privacy, public libraries afford children a form of civic standing and respect that has few parallels in our “free” society, which mostly treats children as chattel. Vociferously defend public libraries. 📚
