As long as you’re not seeking it for profit, and you’re not posting it on social media, you shouldn’t be in trouble w the publisher. Personally, I’m flattered. Break a leg!

A manuscript titled “THE FIRST HUNDRED HOURS, A STORY OF ALIEN INVASION” by Max Brooks

New book on its way! For the last few years I’ve been working on ‘The First Hundred Hours, a story of Alien Invasion.’ Updates coming soon!

In elementary school, Brennan Spiegel was so creative and smart, he helped inspire me to write. Now, 40 years later, he still blows my mind with his insights. Check out “Pull”, the book that explains how gravity directs our body and mind.

Opening Night of “The Producers” London revival was spectacular! Huge shoutout to @baadumching.bsky.social, Vice President of Brooksfilms. People behind the scenes never get the credit they deserve. If you’ve loved Mel Brooks’ work for the last 20 years, it’s because Shelby helped bring it to life.

Just witnessed the Harlem Hellfighters finally being awarded the Congressional Gold Medal! As if that wasn’t thrilling enough, I got to meet the descendants of Hellfighter and Jazz legend James Reese Europe! #jazz #WorldWar1 #HarlemHellfighters #JamesReeseEurope

A copy of the book Devolution by Max Brooks lays in the grass on top of a handmade hatchet with a silver blade

Just heard Devolution is going back for another printing. And yes, the hatchet in the picture is same one from the book. Handmade with no tools just to see if my characters could do the same.

Given the state of the world, and what's on the horizon, I'll be leaving X for Bluesky and Threads. Both addresses are in my bio above. Thank you for following me all these years. Hopefully I'll see you on the other side.

To any of my fellow Jews who are still undecided; remember these monsters, who Trump called “very fine people”? Remember the 2018 Tree of life Synagogue shooting, the 2019 Poway Synagogue shooting? Jews are not safe under Trump. We have to vote for our lives! #American Jews

VOTED!
