A few weeks ago I headed to Washington D.C., just in time to see the cherry blossoms explode. Also to appear on C-Span’s Book TV. My interlocutor was Congressman Ed Case, D-HI, who represents the district that includes Kalaupapa, and who has been quoted on record that The Colony was not long enough. (Oh where you, Congressman Case, when my editor was hacking away at my prose?) Our subsequent lively discussion is viewable here.

Alas, I’ve been remiss with the postings. After several weeks of blurring and blurry media appearances, things have settled down again. So first the new news. The Colony audio book is out, should you have 13 hours to devote to its unabridged entirety. In the next few days I’ll post some audio clips, for those sampling at home.
