@thedailyjaws I have a few recommendations both old and new. If you’re interested in sharks you can’t go wrong with any of these on #NationAuthorsDay

Why the increase of great white sharks on the East Coast is cause for celebration. @RetTalbot @GregSkomal trib.al/P2lXVuY

I love doing events w/ my wife, the talented scientific illustrator @KarenTalbotArt. She created the art for CHASING SHADOWS & here she is at a recent event at @MaineAquarium. If you're interested in us giving a talk or hosting an educational table at your event, please reach out

@hekkmart @GregSkomal @MegalodonWinton Have you read Susan Casey's THE DEVIL'S TEETH?

@RetTalbot @GregSkomal @MegalodonWinton Yes, most likely. Or other marine biology / oceanography. Thanks!

@GregSkomal @MegalodonWinton @RetTalbot …Just finished Chasing Shadows. Wonderful read! Loved it. …what books do you recommend as a follow up? Cheers! silverunicornbooks.com/item/MEgaIBq6_…

63 years ago today, John Brodeur suffered a shark bite off Sea Girt, NJ, which @GregSkomal and I argue in CHASING SHADOWS (@WmMorrowBooks) was the most consequential shark incident to date in the western North Atlantic insofar as shark science was concerned.

Later today, @KarenTalbotArt and I will be signing and illustrating copies of CHASING SHADOWS at the @MaineAquarium in West Boothbay during their Sharkfest open house. Come learn about shark research in Maine with the State's top experts, and grab a personalized book!

Just found a perfect summer pairing at Yellow Umbrella Books in Chatham on Cape Cod! @caseymaui @RetTalbot @GregSkomal #SummerReading #ocean #beachread #summer #capecod #chatham

Thanks to @WhiteBirchBooks for hosting me last night! What a great audience and outstanding host. @GregSkomal and I are so thankful to indie bookstores like White Birch for helping us spread the word about this remarkable conservation success story! #chasingshadows @WmMorrowBooks

@HistNerdsUnited @caseymaui @GregSkomal Honored to be in such great company!

I'll be signing CHASING SHADOWS (@williammorrowbooks) at @Shermansbooks Rockland today fr 1-3. The book, written with shark biologist @GregSkomal, is about the resurgence of the white shark population off New England. @karentalbotart will be with me to illustrate your book!

Sad to hear of Stan Waterman's passing, but what a life to celebrate!

Ack! The event is 6pm, not 7pm in Lubec!

Thanks to everyone who came out to hear me speak about my work as a science writer in Rockland last night. Tonight I will be at the Lubec Memorial Library in Lubec, Maine, reading from CHASING SHADOWS, my new book written with shark biologist @GregSkomal.

Come see us Saturday at @ShermansBooks in Rockland. @KarenTalbotArt and I will b3 personalizing copies of CHASING SHADOWS and talking sharks from 1 to 3pm.

@Rene52440449669 @GregSkomal @hellohellobooks @KarenTalbotArt Hope you like it!

@RetTalbot @GregSkomal @hellohellobooks @KarenTalbotArt Can’t wait to get my book 📖

Looking forward to tomorrow night's Rockland Public Library event at 6:30pm. @hellohellobooks will be selling books, and @KarenTalbotArt will be adding an original illustration to the title page of any book purchased at the event! #authortalk #locallibrary #buylocal #supportlocal

3 years ago, I published this NatGeo article w/ @Rachael_Bale, one of my fav editors. I'm still conflicted that this fatal shark attack likely benefitted the sale of CHASING SHADOWS, my new book written with scientist @GregSkomal that came out this month nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…

This is a mount of the first white shark @GregSkomal saw in the flesh. It was 1983 in Mystic, CT, and last night, Greg and I presented our book CHASING SHADOWS (@WmMorrowBooks) to a full house at an event hosted by @mysticaquarium and @livingsharks. Full circle moment!
