Jeff, First off, let me say that your book literally made my top 10 (maybe top 1) list of all time. I love the way you write and truly felt like I was there with you during the story. I have thought often of contacting you with a book idea (which you probably receive all of the time)! Is there a good way to contact you about this? Thanks again for such a powerful book. Stacy

Hi and thank you for reaching out--your kind words mean a lot, for real. So sorry for the years-long delay in responding. I really don't spend time on social websites but am trying to be better about that, as my next book called Show Them You're Good comes out in August, about young men in different neighborhoods finishing high school and aspiring for college. I mention that only to say that the years have been busy working on a book. And I know the ship has probably sailed by this point, but you're welcome to reach out to me regarding the above--I think you can email me directly on Goodreads? I have the next book already researched so it's hard to find space, but I also go about work under the firm belief that every person one encounters in a coffee shop or a train station or a Goodreads forum has a worthy story and I'm always grateful to listen. Sincerely, Jeff

Hi, I just wanted to say that The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace is one of the best books I have ever read. I was also wondering, how your opinion changed much of Rob since writing this? How does it compare knowing his whole life story vs previous perceptions of him as an old friend and former roommate who seemed to keep much of his internal struggles and history to himself?
