Some early words about A Campus on Fire from authors I deeply admire.
This novel is about power, ambition, truth, and what happens when it all collides on a college campus.
Available now wherever books are sold.
🧯 Let’s talk. Let’s argue. Let’s read dangerously.

A Campus on Fire is officially out today.
I’ve spent years with this book — revising, wrestling, obsessing.
If you’ve ever loved a campus novel, questioned a system, or wanted to burn something down (metaphorically, mostly), this one’s for you.

If you love fast-paced historical adventures, The Adventures of the Flash Gang: Berlin Breakout by M.M. Downing & S.J. Waugh is a must-read. Lewis and Pearl’s daring mission in Nazi-controlled Berlin is full of heart-pounding moments and gripping suspense. Highly recommend!

Just read Play, With Knives by Jeanette Horn, and it’s a wild, brilliant ride. Surreal, theatrical meditation on truth, lies, and the magic of storytelling. If you love books that play with reality, this one’s for you. Highly recommend. #PlayWithKnives #MagicalRealism #Books

The hardest battles are fought within ourselves. The Good War by Elizabeth Costello beautifully explores the complexities of love, art, and history, reminding us that understanding who we are often means facing the truths of our past. 🌿💭

In the heart of an untamed wilderness, survival and friendship intertwine in the most unexpected ways. A Tea-Dark Bearing by Janice Kidd is a powerful reminder of the strength we find in each other when the world around us is in chaos. 🌿💫

This journey isn’t about getting to the destination but finding the people who’ll help you get there. Finding Normal by Jen Doktorski is an inspiring reminder that love, friendship, and the strength we find in each other can lead us toward healing. 🌟✨
