Incredibly kind review from Cold Caller Magazine.
“Thorson provides us sixteen different windows onto something beyond the violent and even the violence. Through these fictionalized stories of crime, Thorson gives us a glimpse of the truth.”

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.
If you're in LA, or have access to a plane or other type of vehicle, come out to Vroman's in Pasadena on April 30th, where I'll be talking with @blacktopkid.bsky.social for the launch of A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE. Come through.

Black-and-white photograph of Shirley Chisholm speaking at a podium with a microphone. Below the image, white text on a black background reads: “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” Her name, Shirley Chisholm, appears beneath the quote.
Shirley Chisholm did not wait for permission. She made her own seat and changed the room.
First Black woman elected to Congress. Presidential candidate.
