My novel The Untended is OUT TODAY! This book is a psychological thriller - and a love letter to all that needs tending in the world. The main character is a single mom who packs a lot of punch. I love her dearly. And I am so psyched for her debut!

The world is dark, and also I'm sharing this bright thing. My debut novel The Untended comes out in a month - and it feels like good timing for a psychological thriller about drugs, hope, and so much that needs tending. bookshop.org/p/books/the-unt…

Thank you, @TomDispatch. I'm also wondering when climate change will become the crucial issue in American elections.
