I conducted an interview this week with Huffington Post journalist Akbar Shahid Ahmed on his forthcoming book, Crossing the Red Line: Biden, His Advisers, and Israel’s War in Gaza, which I’ll be releasing on Sept. 21, the book’s release date. I’ve been working my way through an advanced copy and it’s definitely worth a read.
Speaking of books, I have one coming out on Oct. 13. I would greatly appreciate if readers preordered Dark Phoenix: The Rise, Fall, and Re-emergence of Danielle Smith. Preorders count for first-week book sales, so it’s a strong signal of interest to booksellers, which will help place it on bestseller lists and gain press coverage.
I’ve got steep competition, with former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland’s hilariously titled Unreliable Boyfriend also slated for release on Oct. 13. Wouldn’t it be quite a statement if I outsell Freeland?
You can contribute to that outcome by preordering Dark Phoenix to your local independent bookstore through the “shop local” tab on the publisher’s website. If you’re strapped for cash or live in a small town without a local bookseller, it’s on sale on Amazon and Indigo.
Finally, my friend Cole Rockarts has their first book, Fired Up About Unions, which provides a crash course in labour organizing from a pro, coming out a couple weeks after mine. You can preorder it here.
