Hi, Everyone!

My new book, One Nation, Under God, has been published. The first review won't be out until next week, but why wait for Publishers Weekly's opinion? Read it yourself and tell someone your opinion!

Please consider ordering it from your local independent bookseller. Or, if you don't want to buy a copy, request it from your local library. (They may even have it already.)

Or buy it from Amazon. And remember, when it comes to books we've written, even professional book reviewers are crazy about Amazon reviews.

Thanks in advance. Your support is invaluable.

Keir

Recent News

My Fellow Americans is out in paperback. If you prefer the portability of perfect binding, this is the format you've been waiting for.

In June, William Taylor of Ingram Library Services interviewed me on the exhibit floor of the American Library Association's Annual Conference in Anaheim, California. You can listen to or download the podcast here.

In May, Booklist published a short story for the first time in its 104-year history: "Reading Is My Business." It's about a hard-boiled book reviewer named . . . Keir Graff.

In December, the Chicago Reader published my short story, "If You Should Have Any Need at All."

In October, Time Out Chicago put a scare into its readers with my short short story, "Ghost Stations."

Wikipedia now has an article for "Keir Graff"--I think I've arrived! If you are a Wikipedian, and you know the title of my first book, please feel free to add it to the article . . . .
