I'm excited to announce Secrets of the Killing State: The Untold Story of Lethal Injection. This is an account of all the ways that the state cannot be trusted with the power to kill and how they have tried to hide that reality. Secrets of the Killing State is the truth every citizen should know.

This past week was the busiest week of the whole tour but it was filled with thoughtful, intellectually stimulating conversations and the best people! The week started in Tallahassee, Florida, then we had stops in Montgomery, Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
