Regular readers may have noticed I’ve been relatively quiet for the past six months. The reason: I’ve been feverishly finishing a new book — more on that later — with little time to so much as keep up with my e-mail.
On Friday, however, I finally submitted the manuscript to my publisher and am able to leave my writing cave, squinting in the light of day, and able to read things unrelated to the nineteenth and early twentieth century fight over American nationhood. I’ve got a few interesting projects already lined up, so please watch this space.
