In 1843, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote to a friend after seeing her first daguerreotype: “The very shadow of the person lying there fixed for ever! … I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest artist’s work ever produced.”
Our lives and homes are filled with things that once inspired similar awe. I tried to collect those feelings, in quotes like the one above, from people for whom what is now ordinary was brand new. A friar who met the inventor of eyeglasses, a founding father on the new smallpox vaccine, a woman in Iowa on her family’s first indoor bathroom.

Thanks to @ColoradoSun for letting me talk about "The Silence that Remains." coloradosun.com/2026/05/03/s… They've also published an excerpt on their SunLit website for those who like to try before they buy.

It's finally publication day for The Silence that Remains, after close to 15 years of writing, editing, rewriting, and shopping it around. I don't know how my book will do out there in the world, but I couldn't be more proud of it. amazon.com/Silence-that-Rema…

One week until publication day for The Silence that Remains. You can still preorder either paperback or hardcover on the Barnes & Noble website. barnesandnoble.com/w/the-sil… I don't know which stores might have it on their shelves, so let me know if you spot it in the wild!

One month until The Silence that Remains publishes. One early reviewer compared it to Kristen Hannah and Kate Quinn's novels, which is beyond flattering. More on the book and how to preorder here: megwingerter.com

Presale day is finally here! If you like historical fiction that leans toward the darker side (with a heavy dose of gallows humor), check out The Silence that Remains: amazon.com/Silence-that-Rema…

One week until the presale starts for The Silence that Remains. The publishing process has taken eight months, on top of the years I spent writing (and rewriting, and rewriting, and rewriting) the book. Excited to see the finish line.

Some personal news: my first novel is available for presale Nov. 18. The story follows a World War I veteran, a Bolshevik ballerina becoming disillusioned, and a young survivor of the famine that devastated Ukraine in the 30s. How far will they go to survive in Stalin’s USSR?

I don't have a cool Tom Lehrer story but I 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 to have a cool Tom Lehrer story.
Years back, I saw he had donated to a big Denver politician. I sent him letters and tried the candidate's campaign folks, who didn't know who I was talking about. RIP nytimes.com/2025/07/27/arts/…
