I've been seeing lots of #CharlieKirk quotes posted on social media, but often without a lot of context, so I created this document that provides longer excerpts and as much contextual detail as would fit on the page.

I produce my webcomic, @trumpbert.bsky.social, by reusing a set of characters I commissioned from freelance illustrator Mahnaz Yazdani, mixing and matching and repositioning them as needed. Here are the strips from this week introducing two new characters that Mahnaz created for me.

Just received my author copies of the paperback edition of BRIDGE ACROSS THE SKY.

In the book, I parallel those two black holes with the story of two children meeting in a meadow to say goodbye, because one of them is about to move away. As they dance in the meadow and promise to stay connected, the gravitational waves from the dancing black holes reach the Earth and touch them.

Ugh. Looks like trillions was a typo or outright error on the part of whoever composed the item. (They ran it by me first, too, and I should have read it more carefully.) The story itself says "a billion," approximating the 1.3 billion year old event that the LIGO observatory detected in 2015.

The sale actually happened two years ago, and it's finally been officially announced. I'm really excited about the degree to which this picture book is going to integrate Science and Story, Fact and Feeling, for readers young and old.

Had a great time the week before last talking about my Angel Island novel on a panel of historical fiction writers presenting at the AWP Conference. (Thank you, @marthaconway.bsky.social, for inviting me to be part of the panel!) I also managed to book an appearance at a nearby high school.
