I have a few recommendations both old and new. If you’re interested in sharks you can’t go wrong with any of these on #NationAuthorsDay

Why the increase of great white sharks on the East Coast is cause for celebration. @RetTalbot @GregSkomal trib.al/P2lXVuY
I love doing events w/ my wife, the talented scientific illustrator @KarenTalbotArt. She created the art for CHASING SHADOWS & here she is at a recent event at @MaineAquarium. If you're interested in us giving a talk or hosting an educational table at your event, please reach out

63 years ago today, John Brodeur suffered a shark bite off Sea Girt, NJ, which @GregSkomal and I argue in CHASING SHADOWS (@WmMorrowBooks) was the most consequential shark incident to date in the western North Atlantic insofar as shark science was concerned.
Later today, @KarenTalbotArt and I will be signing and illustrating copies of CHASING SHADOWS at the @MaineAquarium in West Boothbay during their Sharkfest open house. Come learn about shark research in Maine with the State's top experts, and grab a personalized book!

ALT A quote from Emily Voigt about "Chasing Shadows". The quote reads: "An exhilarating and illuminating ode to the ocean's most misunderstood gangsters."
Thanks to @WhiteBirchBooks for hosting me last night! What a great audience and outstanding host. @GregSkomal and I are so thankful to indie bookstores like White Birch for helping us spread the word about this remarkable conservation success story!

I'll be signing CHASING SHADOWS (@williammorrowbooks) at @Shermansbooks Rockland today fr 1-3. The book, written with shark biologist @GregSkomal, is about the resurgence of the white shark population off New England. @karentalbotart will be with me to illustrate your book!
Thanks to everyone who came out to hear me speak about my work as a science writer in Rockland last night. Tonight I will be at the Lubec Memorial Library in Lubec, Maine, reading from CHASING SHADOWS, my new book written with shark biologist @GregSkomal.
Come see us Saturday at @ShermansBooks in Rockland. @KarenTalbotArt and I will b3 personalizing copies of CHASING SHADOWS and talking sharks from 1 to 3pm.
3 years ago, I published this NatGeo article w/ @Rachael_Bale, one of my fav editors. I'm still conflicted that this fatal shark attack likely benefitted the sale of CHASING SHADOWS, my new book written with scientist @GregSkomal that came out this month nationalgeographic.com/anima…
This is a mount of the first white shark @GregSkomal saw in the flesh. It was 1983 in Mystic, CT, and last night, Greg and I presented our book CHASING SHADOWS (@WmMorrowBooks) to a full house at an event hosted by @mysticaquarium and @livingsharks. Full circle moment! – at Maine, USA
I'm looking forward to talking CHASING SHADOWS tomorrow at the Hilton Mystic with my co-author @GregSkomal. The event is co-hosted by @mysticaquarium and @livingsharks, with Bank Square Books. Tickets: ramp.mysticaquarium.org/4881…
