One of my favorite comedians blurbed my book. @Zachanner - actor and writer for ABC's Speechless - gave my novel the kindest endorsement. Please watch the hilarious Speechless episode where he gets tased by Minnie Driver. This man deserves his own TV show. @acre_books

Novel: “For one week, he and Sal could feel it. They could feel what it was like to be true twins...They had been in a world without buildings Sal couldn’t get into, without schools he couldn’t attend, without events he wasn’t invited to, without conversations he couldn’t join."

"I raised you to believe you deserved to win, but you didn’t always listen when I taught you how." This week's miCRo, "Ace of Hearts" by Julia Hou, stages the multiplicity of grief as a final, intimate game between father and daughter. Link in thread.

Today is the 15th anniversary of my twin brother's passing. By a weird coincidence, today is also the day that @NPR and @hereandnow featured my audio essay about Danny. It was a wonderful way to honor him. Please give it a listen. wbur.org/hereandnow/202…

Thanks to @WBUR for adapting my essay into an audio piece. You can hear me and Danny at age 5, 8, and 25, including us joking about who is the evil twin. My mom's response: "It depends on the day..." Please check it out and share. wbur.org/cognoscenti/20…

"I worry that by only having the glass child metaphor to describe experiences like mine, we give in to the ableist assumption that our disabled siblings are catastrophes, instead of people who ultimately enrich our lives." wbur.org/cognoscenti/20…

I have a short essay about being a "sib" on @NPR (WBUR). If you have a disabled sibling, you might have heard of the "glass child" metaphor. There's a more complex and less toxic way to think about our experience. wbur.org/cognoscenti/20…
