It's finally public. Happy to announce my next book, a wild (and true) heist tale from the Library of Congress, an institution I've always loved. Already knee deep researching and writing this one — it's a fun story.
Today I'm excited to release my newest book, AMERICAN POISON, about a bold woman doctor who fought—and was vindicated—against one of the biggest polluting corporations in the 1920s (General Motors). It's all true, and available now. #narrativenonfiction

Big news, friends: My next book AMERICAN POISON is out for preorder now (coming in Feb). This is a fun one about a bold activist named Alice Hamilton, who fought in the 1920s against a diabolical inventor. Wild story, & lots of car history too. More here

Seasonality, supply chain, damageability, tastes. @DanEnRoute has a good book “The Food Explorer” for some historical context
So excited to see @WhitneyPipkin's wonderful book WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED out in the world today. Beautiful read, and highly recommended for anyone who has ever lost a loved one, or ever will.
Very excited to join @lizflock tonight for the LA launch of her incredible book THE FURIES. In LA? Join us!
Spouse or not, there are very few pairs of people in the world who can joyfully write together. One of the rarest things in the world.

Could you imagine being at this wedding?
A new video has been released showing the very moment that a fire started at the Iraq wedding this past Thursday in the northern province of Nineveh.
Sadly, over one hundred people lost their lives, and many more suffered injuries after the fire started due to fireworks that were on the dance floor.
Too many people don't realize how quickly fires can spread.
Is this not one of the saddest thing you've ever seen?

@DanEnRoute Just finished and really enjoyed the audio version on sinkable. Great job on the narration, and of course the subject was fascinating!

Discussions of US infrastructure often emphasize the poor state that it's in - the word "crumbling" gets thrown around a lot.
But for bridges at least, the worst ones have steadily been getting fixed.
As a nonfiction history author, I can tell you this document is historic and will be read (and cited) hundreds of years from now. Regardless of the trial outcome, this doc will be the defining set of facts of Trump's awful legacy. Trial will only fill in more details.

Thanks Amy. And bonus points for buying indy.
So glad my dear friend @MeaganHealy told me about @DanEnRoute - It's been fascinating following commentary on Titanic and the lost sub this week.
Ordered his book SINKABLE from my local indie bookstore @BlueWillowBooks this morning!
You might've been thinking this week, what are the factors that made the Titanic so famous? My latest from @Slate

Wow. Never seen this.
When I read @DanEnRoute's comment about the shoes, I immediately thought of this haunting picture from @NatGeo (Oct '87) - a pair of boots on the ocean floor, the person who wore them long gone
