TONIGHT! RALEIGH! BE THERE!

Watching Westminster (of course) and I’m generally not a poodle guy but I have been swayed by this toy poodle named Ham

I can’t think of many career accomplishments I’m more proud of than my dog show live blogging (and my outsized love of Striker the Samoyed) making it into Tommy Tomlinson’s book “Dogland.”

Rhina has worked so hard to get this book seen out in the world. I’m proud and grateful!

Honored to share this long and lovely review of DOGLAND in the The New Yorker by Kathryn Schulz, one of my favorite writers. A nice way to start the week.

The Argument, by Johann Hamza, late 19th century

On Monday, we examine the cost of motherhood, including the financial, physical, and mental impact. Plus, we look at the unique motherhood issues people of color face. Join guest host Sarah Delia at 9am on WFAE. wfae.org/show/charlotte…

Dansby and I are big fans of Dogland by Tommy Tomlinson 🐶

“By any measure, I loved my mom more than our dog. If I could bring one back, I’d pick her 100 times out of 100. So why, in the moment of their passing, did I cry for him but not for her?” Tommy Tomlinson writes: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I would be remiss in my duties as an author if I did not mention that my new book, DOGLAND, would make an excellent Mother's Day gift.

Available at fine indie bookstores (and other bookstores) (and online portals) everywhere.
