It's pub day for my buddy @joshuasharpe.bsky.social and his incredible book THE MAN NO ONE BELIEVED ... I did a Q&A with him about his reporting process, freeing innocent people from prison, and the magic of the pedal steel.

My dear friend Josh Sharpe’s debut book got a glowing review in the Post today.

“‘The Man No One Believed’ inspires powerful, mixed emotions: fury at the failings of the justice system, and gratitude for organizations like the Georgia Innocence Project and indefatigable journalists like Sharpe.”
Review | ‘The Man No One Believed’ recounts a shocking murder and delayed justice
Joshua Sharpe’s book is about the killing of a Black couple in 1985 at a Georgia church and the wrongful conviction that eventually resulted.

The Man No One Believed, by @joshuasharpe.bsky.social, is about a 1985 double homicide in a South Georgia church that and the long investigation to find the killer.

Stay tuned for my ArtsATL review in the next few weeks!

We're in the final day of an emergency fundraising campaign at @wunc.org (due to the pulling of federal funding). We need the support of North Carolinians now more than ever. And that's why I'm asking Bill Belichick, once again, to become a sustaining member, at any level. www.wunc.org/donate

Thanks to @gardenandgun.com for putting “The Man No Believed” alongside these amazing authors and their new/coming soon books!

“Sharpe…practices Journalism with a capital J.”
Coming Aug. 5. So soon!
Today I was at a stoplight in Detroit and someone in the backseat of the SUV in front of me cracked the door and placed onto the pavement, a single yellow marshmallow peep, closing the door. When the light turned, they drove away.
So honored by the advanced praise for “The Man No One Believed: the Untold Story of the Georgia Church Murders”:
