As reported, the entire staff of 538 was laid off this morning. This is a severe blow to political data journalism, and I feel for my colleagues. Readers note: As we were instructed not to publish any new content, all planned updates to polls data and averages are canceled indefinitely. Huge loss :(

After New Year's Day terrorist attack, New Orleans tries to balance tourism and grief Less than 36 hours after Wednesday’s attack and before we knew the names of all of the victims, New Orleans reopened Bourbon Street to pedestrians.

β€œAn attitude that β€˜the show must go on’ isn’t surprising. Still, it left some New Orleanians expressing a long-standing sorrow that what’s good for the people who visit this city is always prioritized over what’s good for the people who call it home.”

When I turned 40, I had 320 short story rejections and no books published. A few years later, I've published a short story collection and two novels with another on the way. Believe in yourself like someone who loves you.

I've got this book coming out in February. I'd love to speak to your civic group or book club. Have books will travel. I have events scheduled for Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Alexandria, & New Orleans, so I'm happy to travel to any part of Louisiana if you let me talk about the book & sell some copies.
