...and we're back.

Just launched the new website. Still a work in progress, but all eyeballs welcome...

On the air...

Tune in to Boston's NPR station WBUR 90.0 FM at 11 am to hear me chattering away about...the book!

On the way!

Ten lucky readers at the popular book lovers' website Goodreads will soon receive free copies of You Are Here.  Goodreads selected them from 626 people who asked for a freebie.  I'm impressed by the number, even if they aren't paying customers.  Nice to know that many people are interested. 

Anyway, the free books are in the mail and should be arriving at various locations from Alabama to California over the next week.  I humbly ask those who get copies to punch out a quick review and post it on the Goodreads site; I'd love to know what you think.  And thanks much.     

They let me into Harvard!

Well, not really...just the Harvard Coop.  Drop by on Thursday, May 15 at 7 pm for a good look at a good book and its rather odd author...

A bit early to start thinking about October...

...unless you're an ambitious author.  So I'm happy to inform you that I'll be presenting at the Boston Book Festival on October 25.  More details to follow...

"Bright, well-written and highly informative."

So saith Kirkus Reviews about my new book.  So what are you waiting for?

Well, if it's good enough for Scientific American...

...it might almost be good enough for you.  But don't take their word for it.  Pick up a copy and see for yourself...

Here's me again, talking about my new book on the NPR radio show, Big Picture Science. Listen in, because, well, science!

High time I freshened up the place, yes?

This blog could certainly use it...

I'm on the air...

...or I soon will be.  Tune into WGBH Channel 2 tonight at 7.  I'll be on Emily Rooney's Greater Boston show, talking about my new book.
