Yeah, I think it goes back to just the daunting, overwhelming feeling in Flint. You know, I had broken several stories on the Flint water cover-up, which most Americans don't know the details about. And a lot of people think it's, oh, that's too bad. It's, you know, but they think it's about Flint. And really the details are much broader than just Flint. I mean, it involved a massive flood.

Fraud involving Wall Street banks and involved just to me, brazen racism, greed. One of the biggest public health disasters that's ongoing. Cancer is surging today, 11 years later in Flint because of the water and the damage. So a lot of the feedback I got from outlets, the few that responded, because a lot of them just didn't care and were just 24-7 Trump, was this is great, but, you know,

This is too much for one article. You might want to try a book. And after a certain point, I had broken a few stories in The Guardian and Vice and a couple other places. But I basically had just thousands of documents from the criminal investigation that had never been out there. And I basically had like shells of the story and splinters all over the place, but not all one piece together.

So the only time off I actually had, believe it or not, was when my daughter was born because I took paternity leave. So it's probably not the best fatherhood, but instead of sleeping when she was sleeping, I started writing it. And I wrote it.

It was challenging because with a book like this, it's just a mountain of actual facts and people and moving parts, but you don't want to bore people to death because it's very heavy. So I also wanted to weave in the human parts and the human stories.

So I wrote it relatively quick, but the actual rewriting editing took like six months to a year because I settled on why don't I start each chapter with a story of a resident and kind of set the scene with exchanges I had with them and then get into the timeline of the coverup. So overall, it took me about a year between writing, editing, and then trying to find a publisher. I can't tell you.
