Elephant pregnancies last approximately 95 weeks, and so I often think of my novels as baby elephants. They take a long time to gestate, they’re always a lot bigger than I think they will be, and once they’re loose in the world they’re adorably awkward. Or something like that. My new book is not much different. It took a year to write, a year to revise, it came in many tens of thousands of words over my goal, and when I think about it I’m both proud and a little scared.
I sold my new book back in June, but after some protracted debate about the title, I can finally send out the official “baby” announcement! The new book is titled THE RECKLESS OATH WE MADE, and it will be published by Putnam (an imprint of Penguin/Random) in the fall of 2019. Exact “due date” to be announced at a later time.
I am extremely excited about this book as it marries together a wide variety of my interests and concerns: poverty, health care, mental illness, medieval French literature, Middle English, sword fights, the Flint Hills, drugs, dogs, redheads, and guys with bad haircuts.

I don’t want to wait that long! I’ll have to look up your bio, but are you from the Flint Hill? My entire family, generations of family from the Flint Hills. It’s the most beautiful place. I wish I was able to live there
Anyway, congrats on the “birth” of your new baby.

I’m actually from the high plains in SW Kansas, but I have a special fondness for the Flint Hills.
Congratulations! I think the title is good and intriguing.
I’m glad, as it certainly took a lot of conversation to pick a title.
I can’t wait to read this book!
