This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I'm thrilled to share this amazing review from Kirkus about THE QUIET FOREST. I think this reviewer really got what we were trying to do with this book.
This story was a challenging puzzle to piece together, and I'm so happy with how it all came together.
