Katherine Howe

Marblehead by night.

One of the best parts of being an author is getting early looks at cool things other authors are doing. This art heist true story is coming from on June 2 and it is flipping fantastic.

We are all so lucky to be here.

Springtime 🌷

asked the machine overlords to render me as a John Singer Sargent portrait. Guess I really do have to finish my Gilded Age novel this summer...

Finally.

Scene from the office.

It's not often I run around thrusting books into people's hands, but this one is really fantastic. Equal parts history and historiography, and written with a wry sense of humor, Forget the Alamo deconstructs one of the founding myths of Texan history in a really smart and engaging way. (Also, I had no idea Phil Collins was obsessed with the Alamo.)

Want to come hang out with me in Wenham on Wednesday?

Today on the Howe and the Why, notes from AWP, and going slightly viral about a Snoopy watch.

Butler library giving Richard Serra vibes today.
