What happens when a top children’s hospital becomes the center of a mysterious surge in infant deaths? And what if, years later, you discover your own story is intertwined with that history? I spent months investigating the case, now live on @Narratively: narratively.com/p/dozens-of-…

Years after a series of suspicious deaths occurred at the very hospital where @Leigh_KC spent time as a baby, she decided to investigate what happened. Had this been a mass murder or a tragic coincidence?narratively.com/p/dozens-of-…

This is such a good one, for researchers, authors of narrative nonfiction, all journalists really…
I wrote an article for @Narratively on how I tracked down Rose Valland's partner and her story inspired by the work of Philippa Langley who discovered the body of Richard III under a London parking lot. This is the investigative work I love the most.

You work long enough in this biz, you eventually get caught up in layoffs. Yesterday I lost my job at Vulture, the best gig I’ve ever had. Still processing but I’ll want to write again so please keep me in mind for freelance work or regular work or just general nice messages.

“Did I think a memorial would help me understand what really happened or whose memory was more flawed, mine or my family’s? No. I came because I needed to know what, how, and why I remembered.”
