I felt that there was a story that wasn't being told about what happens when the TV crews go away - not just in the weeks and months after, but over the course of years and decades. How do people go on? What do they carry with them? How do their memories get wrapped into the life of the community? This book was an effort to imagine some answers to those questions. (less)

I was very fortunate to meet and partner with an agent early in the process, and he helped to develop the manuscript as well as to bring it to a publisher. Writers (myself included) are often introverts, and we have to force ourselves to network and meet new people in order to make those connections. (less)

We are all on the Frontier

Just over a year since EVERY MOMENT AFTER was published, and it's hard to believe how much the world has changed. In this recently published essay - WE ARE ALL ON THE FRONTIER - I try to express one person's take on this new world.

I hope that all of you are well -

Joe

Quotes by Joseph Moldover (?)

“People want to forget. No one would ever say it, but I think this town will be glad to see our class leave. They put up all the memorials you’d expect, but there was no need: we’re living reminders.”
― Joseph Moldover, Every Moment After: A Young Adult Coming-of-Age Story of School Shooting Survivors and Friendship

“Viola takes the menu and looks at it, then looks at the Senate bill pasted to the wall beside the window. “Interesting décor.” I look at it too. It’s newer, though I did see it the last time I was in. It has to do with banning silencers and certain kinds of ammunition. “That’s right, you’ve never been here.” I look around. “This is how it’s decorated. Has been ever since. The first bill they introduced after it happened got voted down, and Kathy hung it up by the register to remind everyone. Then there were others, and she hung those up too. Everything having to do with anything about guns: background checks, automatic weapons, ammo, concealed carry, anything at all.” “She hangs up bills having to do with gun control?” “Just the ones that get voted down.” “What about the ones that pass?” “I don’t think there are any of those.”

Joseph’s Quotes

“There is no such thing as a genuinely non-political literature, and least of all in an age like our own, when fears, hatreds, and loyalties of a directly political kind are near the surface of everyone's consciousness.”
― George Orwell
