My pal @stephenfishbach.bsky.social’s amazing debut, “Escape!” is $1.99 in the Kindle store today, in case you’re looking for the next book you’ll devour and then have to stare off into space for like ten minutes processing how great it was.

Finally finished Escape! by @stephenfishbach.bsky.social and WOW! I was on the edge of my seat for the whole story, especially Act 3! Fascinating depth on both sides of the reality TV camera. Not that every book needs an adaptation, but a film/series would be incredible.

Replying to @iamtkp.bsky.social
I was not able whatsoever to put this book down unless I told myself I needed to. Amazing pacing, incredible writing, and the tension built throughout was tantalizing. @stephenfishbach.bsky.social I can’t wait for the follow up 🙂↕️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This is some serious Marie Antoinette shit
SCOOP: The Trump administration is paying millions to quickly cover four enormous bronze horses with extra-thick 23.75 karat gold leaf. The money for the rush job is coming from National Park Service funds. In total, I found ~$100 mil spent on new DC beautification projects.
so much fun to chat with Charlotte Walsh for People about the EXTREMELY FUN subculture of #Survivor-based ORGs and LRGs, mini-Survivor games that are truly in the hands of the fands! people.com/survivor-die...

# 252: Stephen Fishbach (@stephenfishbach.bsky.social) joins us to read from his debut novel "ESCAPE!", which follows a has-been reality TV star and a disgraced producer through plot twists they'd never imagine. Listen here: pod.link/1524142040/e... Fishbach's site: stephenfishbach.com
My latest episode of Paraphrase podcast is about one of my favorite new books: Lin-Manuel Miranda-The Education of an Artist by @pollackpelzner.bsky.social. The book is both a fascinating exploration of Lin-Manuel's life & work, and a deep dive into the very process of creativity.
