One of the joys of going on book tour is dropping in on indie bookstores to see if they have my books on their shelves. Thankfully, @harvardbookstore.bsky.social, Trident, Kramers, Politics & Prose, and @powells.bsky.social had “There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood” to sign! #BookSky

#BookSky Join me at the AFI Conservatory for a conversation led by @lisanebasquiat.bsky.social to discuss my latest novel, “There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood” and “The Double Dutch Fuss” by Phill Branch at Thursday, July 16 (7pm). RSVP necessary - shop.villagewell.com/events/57928...

“I kept looking for the flaws, the pieces that I had predetermined were broken and realized that I had never actually seen myself.” Phill Branch considers cinematic depictions of Blackness.

#BookSky What a thrill it was to go on @nbcwashington.com and talk about "There's Only One Sin in Hollywood" with Jummy Olabanji! (Many thanks to producer Justin Stewart for making it all happen.)

How could they support my most cherished dreams? Is there some link in bio that could lead the way? Alas, I can’t think of anything…
