A million thanks to everyone who has read and told their friends about Bomb Shelter. The paperback is out today! (Get it anywhere you get books, but just so you know: @ParnassusBooks1 has signed copies and free turtle stickers. 😉)

I am so proud to have been the writer and creative director of the new video by @TTChilders, with the story idea by @JasonKyleHoward. I am so thankful to Tyler for his artistic vision and to the phenomenal cast and crew, who gave it their all. youtube.com/watch?v=II-L8Hq0…

"Did you love @mary_beth_keane's last novel, #AskAgainYes? Then you'll eat up [#TheHalfMoon], which is set in the same fictional town...offering a close-up look at a long marriage tested by time & unrequited dreams. Gorgeous sentences, too."—@MaryLauraPh spr.ly/6018OldTE

"No matter what kind of parent you’ve been — attached, tiger mom, baseball dad — the dynamic between you & your child changes now, forever. It's not shameful to be swept upside down at the prospect of this upcoming separation..." washingtonpost.com/parenting… @onparenting @MaryLauraPh

“…how to contemplate, without rage or hysteria, the monstrous possibility of death at such a wrong age.” We bear loving witness to @SarahAWildman’s immeasurable grief, memories of Orli, and magnificent writing about what she never wanted to write about. nytimes.com/2023/05/19/opini…

The graduates are getting plenty of advice -- this one's for the parents. ❤️ It's OK to laugh and clap and cry at the same time. And listen: There's something you can do *now* to ease the transition to an empty-ish nest. It's SCIENCE: @washingtonpost wapo.st/3MCON77

My nyu students think it’s so weird that I didn’t do active shooter drills in high school. This country has failed an entire generation.
