I’m a writer in part thanks to librarians who were so important to lonely 11-year-old me. Here’s my homage to them from the @kqednews.kqed.org @npr.org Great American Reads some years ago, and my photo from that library contest. Happy #NationalLibraryWeek www.kqed.org/perspectives... #booksky

Perhaps it’s a metaphor? Notre Dame, nearly burned to the ground, is rebuilt to be even more inspiring than I have ever seen it. It’s done inside… #paris #notredame #writinginspiration #inspiration #art

What are YOU doing on International Women’s Day? This is the view from London!

Oh no. I studied under John Casey one year at the @sewaneewriters.bsky.social and learned so much. One story: his editor told him a novel was too long, so he revised…and made it longer, and then it wasn’t too long. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2... If you haven’t read him, start with Spartina.

washingtonpost.com

John Casey, prize-winning novelist of ‘Spartina,’ dies at 86

He won the National Book Award for his novel, which one reviewer called “possibly the best American novel about going fishing since ‘The Old Man and the Sea.’”

So proud of this! Opinion: In 2024, Hollywood managed to create at least one level playing field - Los Angeles Times www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... It’s a subject I plumb in the new novel—preorder at bit.ly/TB-BookPassage or bit.ly/TB-Keplers bit.ly/TB-Bookshop amzn.to/3YhZ25y or bit.ly/TB-BN

Opinion: Last year, Hollywood managed to create at least one level playing field

For the first time since researchers started counting, Hollywood's top-grossing movies featured the same number of male and female protagonists.

Just saw that Karen Solem died a few weeks ago. She was my first agent, when she was at Writers House before she started Spencer Hill, and such a sweetheart. Sigh.

Breath out. No blue sky in Carmel-by-the-Sea today (except this place, of course), but the mist was so ethereally gorgeous that I have to share.

There is a lot to unpack f/the National Book Awards last night but I’m curious. I haven’t seen a mention no female winners. Have you? A 2014 Ron Charles @washingtonpost.com piece included this chart suggesting women were making progress. Are we still? (Rita Dove did receive Lifetime Achievement)

So this happened — and while I was here to see it!
