Bay Area Book Festival Panel
With so many book events canceled due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, my panel at the Bay Area Book Festival in Berkeley became an online event. I joined Dr. Carol Anderson and Elizabeth Rusch for a discussion of voting rights, moderated by Khepera Lyons-Clark of Cinnamongirl, a rising college freshman and the kind of engaged young […]
First draft of the next book is done
This morning I sent the first draft of my next book to the publisher. “A Hot Mess: How the Climate Crisis is Changing Our World” should be out in September 2021 from Lerner Books, and will be my fifth non-fiction book.
