Learned that the Minnesota Museum of Art hosted TWELVE different tours inspired and based by my book The Art Spy! How cool is that! One was about Hitler's dream of being an artist and his hatred of modern art, another was about art that Rose Valland helped protect buff.ly/EN2wXre

Was full on in the French wildfires en route to drop my kids off at their grandparents. It’s apocalyptic. Ash is falling and it’s impossible to breathe. Sky ranges from haze to dark stormy look. Stations closed while we were en route so we had to get off at Bordeaux, rent a car & drive through

I'm in the @nytimes today! Was interviewed about Broadway and put in my 2 cents about how the path of the Native American trail has influenced social movements and adds interest to the urban landscape! buff.ly/DU1Jyaz

I'm on German TV! Talking about NYC history and nickelodeons here. We filmed in an empty floor of the Woolworth Building which was very cool! Mostly, I was pitching in for my colleague Justin who was trapped abroad (he appears in the episode too). buff.ly/vUwrcEi

The Art Spy was Lenox Library's most checked out nonfiction book in 2025! This means a lot since it's one of the libraries in my area: the Berkshires, MA. I have great memories of talking to over 400 people at The Mount, Edith Wharton's house where I was married & to 200 more at Ventfort Hall!

The Art Spy is a finalist for a @LambdaLiterary.org Award for Best Lesbian Memoir/Biography! This nomination means a lot because of how deeply I researched Rose Valland's partner Joyce to bring them both to life. I spent 3 months just on that aspect & am truly touched it struck a chord with readers.
