It was all happening at @robhasapodcast.bsky.social live last night! So happy to finally get out to one of the live shows. It's always so fun to see a #Survivor episode with a crowd, there were great guests, and loved the conversation led by @robcesternino.bsky.social & @stephenfishbach.bsky.social!

Attended a book discussion for @stephenfishbach.bsky.social's Escape! at Wonderland Books. It was great to meet Stephen and I really enjoyed the book which follows a producer and contestant on a Survivor-esque reality tv show.

cover of novel Escape! by Stephen Fishbach

If you are a fan of reality TV (or looking for an escape from reality), I highly recommend two-time Survivor contestant @stephenfishbach.bsky.social's new novel Escape!!

Great characterization, propulsive action, clever storytelling, and a super-fun peak behind the curtain of reality TV.

I'm going to be in Toronto the night of April 8, are there any bookstores in the downtown area where I could/should do a book event?

I'm over the moon that I got to write this week's @wsj.com 5 Best column, on Extraordinary Ordeals.

I loved getting to feature some of my favorite novels, but then to also receive my own hedcut was the achievement of a life goal.

listened to this audiobook and it was great! also loved the fact that the voice actor changed as the narrator did since it’s a multi-perspective book
