Highly recommend this beautiful novel—THE LILAC PEOPLE by Milo Todd—about the experience & prosecution of trans individuals during WW2. This novel does what the very best historical does—provide a timeless account of humanity that speaks to our present moment. Pub: 4/29/25, Counterpoint Press.

Over the years, Jenny and I have discovered—and have been inspired—by the rich literary traditions of Ireland and Northern Ireland, and we look forward to sharing these places and their artistic history and inspiration with other writers.

Jenny Browne and I are excited to announce our inaugural Dublin/Belfast Writers' Retreat, coming this summer: August 10-17, 2025!

Austin friends! This weekend! Come and see St. Stephen's production of the timeless evocative classic, OUR TOWN, directed by Mike Dolan and featuring his talented students.
