I see in your Acknowledgments that you gives thanks to the Acorn Yarn Shop. There is an Acorn Yarn Shop just down the street from where my wife and I live in Northeast Seattle. Is that the same yarn shop?
Danya Kukafka
This is definitely the same yarn shop!! I got really into knitting during the pandemic, and spent so much time at Acorn Street shop, they offered me a job. I worked there for about a year, until my schedule wouldn't allow it anymore. If you go in, say hi to Janet and Mary for me! And you might just catch me there adding to my gigantic yarn stash...

Not a question! But writing in the hopes that you read this? I try, as a challenge, to read 12 books a year that are freshly published in that year, I've been doing it since 2017. Notes On An Execution captivated and moved me in a way that no book has in that time. It was heart-wrenching, immersive and beautiful. I'll be recommending it to all my friends and colleagues. Thank you so much for what you've given us.

Just finished Girl in Snow--holy Moses!--and I am wondering: will we see any of these characters in your next book? Cameron is particularly riveting, and I won't say more lest I ruin it for others. I used to teach teenagers and am impressed by how well you captured the boundary-pushing behaviors that make adults involved wonder what will be outgrown, and what signifies real trouble that will carry forward.
