We love seeing Catch the Devil from @pamelacolloff.bsky.social on independent bookstore bestseller lists, here from the Mountains & Plains Indie Booksellers Association. Review after review calls it “riveting,” readers. And those reviews are correct.
Bestsellers, including Catch the Devil

What a pleasure to hear @sarahweinman.com read from Catch the Devil by @pamelacolloff.bsky.social “What made him so dangerous was not his intelligence or cunning, but rather how readily the institutions that were supposed to uphold the law and protect the most vulnerable had amplified his lies.”

The poet and editor Jennifer Mackenzie used lines that Brook Wilensky-Lanford said, wrote, or encountered during the research and writing of A God-Shaped Nation: Five Hundred Years of Religion in America and used them to create this poem. (To see the entire poem, you’ll have to click on it.)

Am now among a growing number of people to have seen the Club Eleven museum/bus and marvel at the easygoing joy and comprehensiveness of their electric kool-aid fútbol test. They also naturally reciprocated with admiration for @leanderalphabet.bsky.social’s The Long Game.

Sarah’s WITHOUT CONSENT releases tomorrow. It’s about a man who did the worst things a human being can do, and a woman who tried to do her best. It’s about people who were largely not ready to be on stage in front of the world, or to make history, or create laws, but they did those things anyway.
