    Some news. I am humbled to partner with Andrew Miller and Henry Holt to write my first book, THE RIVER TOOK THEM. Writing about the 2025 flood in my hometown is a heavy, necessary responsibility. Grateful to my agent Gail Ross, Olivia Metzger, & the entire team for their support.

    Safe to say we’re all in love with lil Eleanor Mae Chesky, who made her big debut Tuesday afternoon weighing a solid 7 lbs 13 oz. With mom’s eyes and dad’s appetite, Ellie’s already off to a fantastic start! Very proud to be known as “Ellie’s Dad,” and consider this my OOO :)

    Two weeks ago I asked Pastor Tony Spell, “If you knew you could save one life by canceling Sunday services, would you?” “I would not,” he said. Today we learned 78-year old church member Harold Orillion passed away from complications related to COVID19.

    My past three assignments have taken me to Austin, Atlanta & now Allen, TX. Near Austin, a man shot 2 cheerleaders. In Atlanta, a gunman killed 1 and wounded 4 at a hospital. At an Allen mall, a gunman killed 8 people and leaves 7 wounded. I hate wondering where I’ll go next.
    An ongoing investigation is underway in Allen, Texas after a gunman opened fire at an outlet mall Saturday afternoon, killing 8 people and injuring 7 others, before being fatally shot by a police officer, authorities say. @BreakingChesky reports.
