ALSO HERE by Brooke Randel is NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRESALE! An intergenerational memoir that's both heartwarming and harrowing, @PublishersWkly is calling it a "powerful debut." But you DON'T have to take MY word for it. (Or theirs.) tortoisebooks.com/store/alsohere

If you missed out on the debut of THE SURGE, you can always re-up for this massive second edition from @TortoiseBooks. Coming to a bookstore near you on May 20, 2025. Pre-order details/cover reveal soon. Also, @jerry_brennan is a fantastic editor, send him your best work.

Finished edits for the upcoming @TortoiseBooks second edition of @Boondock60mm's amazing novel THE SURGE. (Pending author approval.) Also, I didn't realize just how battered and greasy my old laptop was until I got this new sexy beast!

If you are an independent publisher you will be mailing a lot of books, and you will experience this many many many times.

astonishing how whenever you go to the post office the queue in front of you is made up almost entirely of people who appear to have ended up at the post office by accident, have in fact never visited a post office before, and have no idea what they want out of the experience

Well, at least I’m 100% positive my favorite author, Thomas Pynchon, never did anything weird or gross. Time to move him further up the pedestal.

Played hooky from my day job and spent time catching up on @TortoiseBooks financials and editing one of our Fall '25 titles--a book that's like if The Big Lebowski were written by Flannery O'Connor. (Assuming Flannery O'Connor knew about cyberspace.) You are gonna love it.
