1. Undercover, my first novel for young adults, sells to a wonderful Dutch publisher

Seven years ago, I published two very different books—a vaguely autobiographical first novel for young adults, Undercover, and Flow: The Life and Times of Philadelphia's Schuylkill River.

Both represented a turning point.

Both remain books that I remember with great fondness. The stories I was given the freedom to tell. The people I met throughout the telling. The lessons I learned about the risks worth taking.

Both books have surprised me deeply in recent weeks; both have been returned to me.  

A few days ago, as I wrote here, Flow arrived in warehouses as a brand-new paperback.

Today I learned that Callenbach, the fantastic publishing house that beautifully packaged Small Damages for Dutch readers, will be publishing Undercover as well.

By many, many measures, my writing life is a modest life. That is, perhaps, why news like this touches me as deeply as it does.
