today's Adam Straus story has big HAD energy AND feels a little unlike a submission I'd read before. feels like a special one. "once upon a time, there was a war. first the bad guys were bad, then the good guys were good, then the good guys were bad…" havehashad.com/hadposts/teach…

i seriously love the way HAD looks

First review is in, and it’s a good one. Thanks to Adam Straus for reading so thoughtfully.

my thoughts on "Homeland" by Richard Beck. should be required reading for every American, and will be especially poignant for any veterans looking to make some sense of the last 20+ years. can't recommend it highly enough Los Angeles Review of Books
