Excellent (and appropriate) to see TEST DRIVE by @PatrickMMcGinty included on this list of great new books from independent publishers. buzzfeednews.com/article/wen…

In 2001, I interned at a consulting firm that had no work for me to do, and so I sat at my desk and read. That summer I finished War and Peace, Moby Dick, and Ulysses. In my exit interview, they told me I could have done more to make myself useful. Then they went out of business.

Very cool to see TEST DRIVE on this @BuzzFeedBooks list by @WendyJeanFox, who did such thoughtful write-ups of each. Even cooler to see @propellermag listed among some small press heavy hitters: buzzfeednews.com/article/wen…

A great thing about arranging book events through the sister of the author is that sometimes the sister is a farmer & brings you piles of veggies. Anyway, come see me at work tmw to hear @PatrickMMcGinty talk about a great book that made me extra anxious (6pm! Thurs/the 14th)

Very generous review of TEST DRIVE in the @PittsburghPG by the legend @ODriscoll1bill. I will happily take any and all comparisons, no matter how small, to "Sorry to Bother You" / Boots Riley. Link: post-gazette.com/ae/books/20…

Do you want to read about #tech + rent + climate + resistance + Pittsburgh? If so you rly need to give this a gander!🤯
That's the sequence: AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES, driverless cars, tech, mobility, the inside dope, the grind, deal & skinny! We 'burghers are so anti-razdazle #cities
Probably about time to say I have a novel coming out on May 24th from @propellermag. TEST DRIVE is about labor and climate and housing and Pittsburgh and sure, driverless cars too, in a way that is, I hope, unexpected and new. Read books. Pre-order here: propellerbooks.com/store/tes…
