The Girl Who Fled the Picture by Jane Anderson | | @JaneSAnderson15 @lovebookstours @KellyALacey

I'm delighted to be helping kick off the book tour for The Girl Who Fled the Picture by Jane Anderson. As I mentioned in the cover reveal post, I've been hearing about this book for some time since I know the author. It's so lovely that the book is finally in the hands of readers.

“In the tradition of Upton Sinclair and Jack London, Michael Dunn gives us a gritty portrait of working-class life and activism during one of the most violent eras in U.S. labor history. Anywhere but Schuylkill is a social novel built out of passion and the textures of historical research. It is both a tale of 1870s labor unrest and a tale for the inequalities and injustices of the twenty-first century.”

-Russ Castronovo, author of Beautiful Democracy and Propaganda 1776.

Available on Sep 19, 2023, from all the usual online distributors, or direct from my publisher: wix.to/M9gMx11

The mammies are returning from the school run in shorts & I’m in my writing room in my best woollens insisting it’s Autumn.

Today’s research is post-opera shenanigans in Gilded Age New York dinner clubs. I’m blasting Don Giovanni (which appears in the novel) while Agatha dances over the keyboard.

Today in Labor History September 6, 1869: The Avondale fire killed 110 miners, including several juveniles under the age of 10. It led to the first mine safety law in Pennsylvania. Avondale is near Plymouth, Pennsylvania. The Susquehanna River flows nearby. The mine had only one entrance, in violation of safety recommendations at the time. In the wake of the fire, thousands of miners joined the new Workingmen’s Benevolent Association, one of the nation’s first large industrial unions (and precursor to the United Mineworkers). My book, “Anywhere But Schuylkill,” opens with this fire. My main character, Mike Doyle, joins the bucket brigade trying to put out the flames shooting out of the mineshaft.

"Anywhere but Schuylkill" by Michael Dunn - coming soon from Historium Press! Check it out!! wix.to/M9gMx11

“The Banshees of Inisherin and 1917 are two of the best historical films I’ve seen in recent years, particularly the cinematography. Yet the visuals Michael Dunn creates in Anywhere But Schuylkill, are richer, more vivid, more imaginative, and more haunting and indelible than what I recall in those brilliant films. It’s like the author transports himself to each scene and brings to life each physical detail, each expression, each emotion, and each word of dialogue with the care of a Renaissance painter.”

—David Aretha, award-winning author of Malala Yousafzai and the Girls of Pakistan and Martin Luther King Jr. and the 1963 March on Washington.
