It was a seven year journey TO THE DAY from the publication of Lily and the Octopus on June 7, 2016 to my debut on the @nytimes Bestseller List with The Celebrants on June 7, 2023. Dream big. Work hard. Stay focused. Amazing things can happen. https://t.co/lhpPMHp27d

Thank you to @KirkusReviews and writer @OgleConnie for this beautiful review of The Guncle audiobook from @PutnamBooks. As a first time narrator, it means so much. (I also read The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka. I can imagine its beautiful, rhythmic prose makes for a gorgeous listen!) https://t.co/f4TIIQS8y4

I loved this book by @m_o_walsh, out in paperback today with a stunner of a new cover. Walsh writes beautifully about Louisiana, a place that’s really hurting right now (the author himself is currently evacuated from his New Orleans home.) Check out THE BIG DOOR PRIZE! https://t.co/l11eeQsTJt

The @TODAYshow calls The Guncle “an all-around charmer” on its list of the 30 LGBTQ+ books to read for Pride and beyond. Honored to be included with all-time greats like Alice Walker and James Baldwin and alongside friends like @mhmhart42 and @gayrodcon.

While a family story at heart, there absolutely is a romance storyline in THE GUNCLE, so I’m thrilled to see it included here. Also, I can’t wait for PLAYING THE PALACE by my pub day twin @PaulRudnickNY 👯‍♂️— I read everything he writes! https://t.co/JlsFdbmbJL

A shot from the @AmazonStudios doc Judy Blume, Forever of Judy in her bookstore Books & Books in Key West featuring my book The Guncle. As a kid I read every Judy Blume book my library had and I’m a writer today in big part because of her. Love you forever, @judyblume! https://t.co/ZC4mIgj37d
