I'm working on a book called "Get Well Soon." It should be out winter of 2017. It's about terrible diseases in history and the sometimes heroic, often utterly insane ways we cured them (or tried to.) It features one picture of a 16th century woodcarving of the baby Jesus shooting syphilis rays out of his eyeballs, and another picture of Nutz from Mad Max that I'll be drawing myself as we can't get the rights to it. Both of them make sense in the context.

Jennifer Wright:
I love both of your books (although Get Well Soon is def. my favorite - it's so perfect. I have recommended it to almost everyone I know). I was hoping you could recommend some good "further reading" in a similar vein to your treatment of the Borgias. I know it won't be as good as yours - but something that isn't terribly dry - maybe one of the sources you used?
