Due to this time of uncertainty, the exact publication date of my book Assume Nothing: A Memoir of Intimate Violence is TBD 2020. Please sign up for my mailing list at the end of this page and follow @TanyaAuthor on Twitter and Instagram for updates. In the meantime, please see advance praise in Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Bitch Media, and a piece by Virginia Heffernan in the Los Angeles Times. When the book can come out, I will be making a number of appearances.

I wanted to write something that could be helpful in these challenging circumstances, and so I have a piece in the New York Times about “Where Can Domestic Violence Victims Turn During Covid-19?.” Please read and share: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/23/opinion/covid-domestic-violence.html
