Another 5-star review of my new book!

I'm grateful for yet another five-star review of my new book. I'm so happy the story seems to resonate with people.

This excerpt illustrates why I call the book a "fictionalized memoir": It juxtaposes details of my real-life experience on the Jeopardy! College Championship with characters inspired by people I knew at another time in my life and a major story element that's purely imagined.

From the latest review of Sex, Drugs & Spiritual Enlightenment (but mostly the first two): "heartfelt, honest, and true to the human condition ... bound to become a cult classic!"

What do you think is most likely to lead to the extinction of humanity?

I had a great time at the Pennwriters annual conference here in my hometown of #Pittsburgh this past weekend. I even sold and signed a few books. #authorlife #WritingCommunity #booksigning #loveeveryone

I had the honor to attend a screening of The Piano Lesson sponsored by the August Wilson House tonight, with one of its stars John David Washington and director Malcolm Washington on hand for a Q&A after. The riveting film opens in theaters on 11/8 and drops on Netflix on 11/22.

It’s so obvious Trump and Russia rigged this election, it’s crazy. MULTIPLE TIMES Trump said, “I don’t need votes” “I have all the votes” “I have a secret plan to win” #RecountTheVote #CyberInvestigation #ReOpenThePolls
