Great Lakes Now is running an excerpt of “The Great Black Swamp: Toxic Algae, Toxic Relationships, and The Most Interesting Place Nobody’s Ever Heard Of.”

Very cool!

The Ohio Newsroom interviewed me about The Great Black Swamp this week. It aired on NPR stations across the state. If you missed it, you can still listen here.

I was blown away by my thoughtful (and sneaky) students, who threw me a surprise book launch party today!

I was asked by the legendary website Largehearted Boy to curate a playlist!

InsideHook Magazine named Great Black Swamp one of its 10 books to read this month!

Thrilled by the recent review of Great Black Swamp in Publisher’s weekly!

Big thanks to Kirkus Reviews for their glowingly positive review of Great Black Swamp. I want “Surprisingly Entertaining” etched onto my tombstone someday.

Don’t forget, $1 of every pre-order before Nov. 11 gets donated to Black Swamp Conservancy.

Buy it from Belt Publishing, Bookshop.org, or Amazon.

Salon was kind enough to publish my essay on toxic algae and its worsening condition due to government rollbacks.
