DOGS, BOYS, AND OTHER THINGS I’VE CRIED ABOUT debuted on The New York Times Bestsellers list for the week of May 17, 2026, appearing at #1 on the Hardcover Nonfiction and Combined Print & E-Book lists. William Morrow published the book on April 28, 2026.
EVIDENCE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY received rave blurbs from Chris Cuomo (“If you love mysteries but hate nonsense, this is your book. Evidence of the Extraordinary is smart, compelling, and genuinely addictive.”) and Luis Elizondo (“A fun and entertaining guide on how to ponder some of life’s deepest mysteries. But don’t be fooled; EVIDENCE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY has less to do with conspiracy theories that it does with the psychology of our species. An important read I encourage anyone who is curious to pick up for a reminder that ‘the proof’ is sometimes way out there.”). Meanwhile, Kirkus calls the book “an engrossing look into ‘anomalous phenomena’ and investigative attempts to separate fact from fiction.” Atria published the EVIDENCE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY on May 5, 2026.
