So grateful to Steve Attardo and the whole team at @wwnorton.com for designing this beauty that captures the essence of the book while also offering a real feast for the eyes.

Very honored to see Strata listed as a Top 10 beach read by the @latimes.com! In the company of these other talented writers 😍.

I suppose it does feel fitting for a book about ancient sediments to be read on a beach. #deeptimesummer

Grateful for this first review of STRATA, which describes it as a "lyrical book that will appeal to science and literature buffs alike." That has always been the goal.
