Really excited to hit the road with #AmericanZion next week. Stops in Utah, Texas, DC, Portland, and Boston, with other trips to California and others later. Hope to see at least a couple people at each event!

Nothing better than picking up books at the inimitable @BenchmarkBooks.
Which, btw, have some signed #KingdomOfNauvoo copies, and will likely host the #AmericanZion launch in January.

We need to support our independent bookstores, as they are the soul of our communities. I love those like Benchmark Books that feature author book signings, lectures & gatherings. @BenchmarkBooks @WellerBookWorks @KenSandersBooks

That’s for new releases in Mormonism. Overall our book is #16! Release date is May 30, but you can grab the Kindle version now or pre-order the hard copy.
You can pre-order signed copies from @BenchmarkBooks or join us for a book signing there on June 1. Would love to see you!

Because of overwhelming response, Unexpected quickly sold out in the Greater Salt Lake Area. @KingsEnglish and @BenchmarkBooks now both have a good supply of signed copies (future signing events TBA). If you want the book today, go to these two great independents.

Also, honorable mention to Bryan who gave me a really cool primary source tip while there!

Getting ready to write *something* on the Lafferty brothers in preparation for Under the Banner of Heaven’s release on @FXNetworks and pulled out this old thing.
They had a Prophet, who had a story and wrote things. And that historical context is important. #AmRel

I first learned about Mark Hoffman from Curt Bench at
@BenchmarkBooks. The tiny world of Mormon Studies, indeed.
If you're planning to watch Murder Among the Mormons, join Sunstone for a watch party and evening with the directors! #SunstoneFunstone

I was married on Oct. 12, 1985, three days before the Mark Hofmann bombing. One of the victims was a close friend. Now there's a three part Netflix documentary about it. What's your memory/knowledge of the bombing and its aftermath?

I wished for years of having a set of Wilford Woodruff's journals.
Dream fulfilled!

Dear @LidlUS
My name is Bean. I eat peanut butter and jelly English muffins for three meals a day.
Back in February, my mom bought 72 jars of your peanut butter when it was on sale for 78 cents a jar. I numbered each jar.

We've got 72 jars on the way! Are you willing to up the ante?! If you get 72,000 RTs we’ll give you a lifetime supply of peanut butter. Do you accept our challenge? #LidlBeanutbutter
