WELCOME
It'a only February but doesn't it seem like 2025 has been on forever?
You think it's too much Trump?
But there's good news.
More Lipsyte.
My new YA novel, Rhino's Run, has just been published. It's about a high school football captain who is politicized by a school shooting and coming face to face with the so-called "misfits" in his class.
He takes being captain seriously and that leads to what the Kirkus review calls "a jumbo package of provocative contemporary issues centered on an appealing protagonist."
I like that!
There soon will be more on Rhino's Run under Books and eventually a bonus backgrounder under The Lipsite about bullying, mine and Trump's. Watch for it.
Some sad news. Proud, elegant Apollo, 12 years old, has died.
He'll never be replaced (nor will Sally or Rudy or Milo), but please welcome Tess, a 7 year-old Shepherd mix who thinks she is a puppy.

If I don't answer immediately, I'm probably writing.
Or playing with Tess.
