I will be meeting writers at the 2019 Boston Writing Workshop, a one-day writers conference on Saturday, Sept 7 -- come say hello! Join my course on nonfiction proposal writing!

Thrilled to see my book New World Inc go into paperback today! It should be in a @Waterstones near you, as well as independent book shops and, of course, on https://t.co/Hl3gIUHPDC Thanks to @AtlanticBooks for producing a fine edition.

Fun to find one’s book in unexpected places—here at the New Mexico History Museum ⁦@nmhm⁩ on shelf featuring “thought provoking” reads.

A riveting tale! So says Thomas Urquhart in @PressHerald (Maine!) book review of NEW WORLD, INC. "Religious freedom wasn't all that drove the founding of America" https://t.co/VhIcnf0WzR Thanks for the smart review and appreciation of our "lively style"—citing my favorite line!

A @nytimes and @BostonGlobe bestseller! #Patriots #SuperBowl #PatsNation

A rare piece of advice writing: useful, humble, amusing, perceptive. A synthesis of others' thinking, but not a rehash or another restatement of the obvious. Kindness Is a Skill https://t.co/MHY2PckgUr Brooks is taking on the mantle formerly worn by Mr. Rogers.

Nice when old writings find new expression.

I'm delighted to be working with @KWLitAgency as affiliated agent, developing idea-driven, non-fiction projects in business, history and the social sciences, technology and current affairs. Also continuing to offer publishing services with Idea Platforms, Inc. Ideas abound!

Listening to @susanorlean talk about THE LIBRARY BOOK reminded me again of how precious is the physical library—and, in particular for me, the @bostonathenaeum, where I love to roam the stacks, get lost in the legendary "drum", and even explore the slightly scary basement.

The lure of precious metal is as strong and devilish as ever. In my new book @newworldincbook we write about the founding of this silver mine by the Spanish in 1545 and how it provoked the English into American exploration. @simontargett05 @littlebrown

Insane longing—that's what drove the English into a mad rush for gold across the Atlantic in 1576. Complete bust made them realize American LAND was a much better bet. @JohnButman and @simontargett05, @FinanceMuseum, based on @newworldincbook @littlebrown

Thanks Glenn! Looking forward to our interview in a couple of weeks.

Will you be in the Greater Williamsburg Area for #LaborDay? Do you love #archaeology? Join Dr. Bill Kelso on a #behindthescenes tour, September 4th. More info: https://t.co/hnxRXiRODW Tickets: https://t.co/ud4bU8Sp5g (📷: Cindy Decker) #HistoricJamestowne #JamestownRediscovery

Nothing like sailing a ship across the WSJ masthead.

Great to get a positive review for #newworldincbook, written with @simontargett05, published by @littlebrown, edited by @vanessamobley, from @petermancall, academic and author with deep knowledge of early American history, in https://t.co/495dfHHCZE.

Honored to publish with Atlantic Books!

Thanks Captain!

We've had positive response to the "failure" theme of our @madebyhistory post https://t.co/2sByF8WsBp—that Americans view failure as an accepted, even necessary, part of creating a success. https://t.co/QtoJkt4cFu story adds more evidence. Lesson applies to book development, too!

And in North Carolina, researchers are investigating the first "science lab" in the New World, 1585, at the @FortRaleighNPS, sponsored by the First Colony Foundation. Thanks to Brent Lane at @kenanflagler for alerting me and co-author @simontargett05.

There is a lot of fascinating work being done into the earliest European settlements in Virginia and North Carolina these days. In Jamestown, archeologists #JamestownRediscovery unearthed a skeleton that could be that of settler George Yeardley.
