If you're in the DC area, come out to Wonderland Books in Bethesda tonight 7 p.m. ET, July 30. We'll talk LLOYD MCNEIL'S LAST RIDE and sports things, and you can yell at me for not liking the NAKED GUN movie as much as everyone else. Also, there is air conditioning. Come say hi!

All songs by the Doors are instantly improved if you imagine them being performed by Ron Burgundy.

That’s true even though the team is bad, players are fighting with one another, and nobody likes us.

Thanks to Amazon Books for choosing LLOYD MCNEIL'S LAST RIDE as one of their best books of the first half of 2025. I do believe one of my rewards is to be shot into space as an inspiration to women everywhere.

For @washingtonpost, I wrote about Timothee Chalamet, @BenStiller and celebrity sports fans, and how a famous person is never more relatable and human than they are when they are screaming for their favorite team.

For @nytimes, I wrote about Zombie Arguments, issues that many of us thought were long settled decades ago--from Pete Rose to abortion to "Cats"--but simply refuse to die.

I tried to make the book as entertaining as I could. It's the funniest and most heartwarming book about a man dying of a brain tumor as humanly possible. They're even turning into a movie. It is a movie I would like to watch. (After I read the book.)

I am very happy with how this book turned out, and I think you will be too. It is my attempt to wrestle with what it's like being a parent right now and not knowing what world we're leaving for our children. Of doing your best to protect them, and guide them, while you can.

Today is release day for LLOYD MCNEIL'S LAST RIDE, my new novel about a cop who, upon learning he's dying of a brain tumor, tries to get himself killed so his family can get the insurance, keeps failing and becomes a civic hero. I think you will like it.
