I finally get to share the cover for THE LOSTING FOUNTAIN. This book was a strange, long labor of love & soon a thing in the world. Thanks to editor Ardyce, agent Ali Herring (is closed to queries), & designer Melissa Farris. Coming from Union Square & Co. 12/31/24. Preorder from your favorite spot.

I was working at a museum as a custodian and was cleaning carpets next to a sarcophagus and mummified remains alongside a cutie who became my bff and eventually my husband.

Been thinking about this Diego Rivera painting a lot lately. The contrast of the long and exaggerated shapes of the main figure and the table, against the soft painterly rendering of the skin and just feels so satisfying to look at.
