Ret Talbot

I love doing events w/ my wife, the talented scientific illustrator @KarenTalbotArt. She created the art for CHASING SHADOWS & here she is at a recent event at @MaineAquarium. If you're interested in us giving a talk or hosting an educational table at your event, please reach out

63 years ago today, John Brodeur suffered a shark bite off Sea Girt, NJ, which @GregSkomal and I argue in CHASING SHADOWS (@WmMorrowBooks) was the most consequential shark incident to date in the western North Atlantic insofar as shark science was concerned.

Later today, @KarenTalbotArt and I will be signing and illustrating copies of CHASING SHADOWS at the @MaineAquarium in West Boothbay during their Sharkfest open house. Come learn about shark research in Maine with the State's top experts, and grab a personalized book!

Thanks to @WhiteBirchBooks for hosting me last night! What a great audience and outstanding host. @GregSkomal and I are so thankful to indie bookstores like White Birch for helping us spread the word about this remarkable conservation success story! #chasingshadows @WmMorrowBooks

I'll be signing CHASING SHADOWS (@williammorrowbooks) at @Shermansbooks Rockland today fr 1-3. The book, written with shark biologist @GregSkomal, is about the resurgence of the white shark population off New England. @karentalbotart will be with me to illustrate your book!

Thanks to everyone who came out to hear me speak about my work as a science writer in Rockland last night. Tonight I will be at the Lubec Memorial Library in Lubec, Maine, reading from CHASING SHADOWS, my new book written with shark biologist @GregSkomal.

Come see us Saturday at @ShermansBooks in Rockland. @KarenTalbotArt and I will b3 personalizing copies of CHASING SHADOWS and talking sharks from 1 to 3pm.

This is a mount of the first white shark @GregSkomal saw in the flesh. It was 1983 in Mystic, CT, and last night, Greg and I presented our book CHASING SHADOWS (@WmMorrowBooks) to a full house at an event hosted by @mysticaquarium and @livingsharks. Full circle moment! – at Maine, USA

I'm looking forward to talking CHASING SHADOWS tomorrow at the Hilton Mystic with my co-author @GregSkomal. The event is co-hosted by @mysticaquarium and @livingsharks, with Bank Square Books. Tickets: ramp.mysticaquarium.org/4881…

New shark on display in the Karen Talbot Art Gallery this weekend! @KarenTalbotArt #chasingshadows #sharkart #legoshark – at Maine, USA

On the Cape this weekend? My co-author on CHASING SHADOWS, @GregSkomal, will be signing copies of our book at the @A_WhiteSharkShark Shark Center in Chatham from 1 to 3 on Saturday. Check it out! The event is free and open to the public.

I've been on the road with @KarenTalbotArt in northwestern, CT, NY and MA--my old stomping grounds--and Karen is trying to keep up with personalizing people's books...even when at the pool! Fins Up! Coming to a library or indie bookstore near you! #chasingshadows #whitesharks

My co-author @GregSkomal will be signing copies of CHASING SHADOWS by @WmMorrowBooks in Falmouth, MA on Saturday at 4pm at Eight Cousins Books. If you're in the area, make sure to take advantage of this opportunity. Greg is pretty busy chasing those shadows in the summer!

Looking forward to tomorrow night's Rockland Public Library event at 6:30pm. @hellohellobooks will be selling books, and @KarenTalbotArt will be adding an original illustration to the title page of any book purchased at the event! #authortalk #locallibrary #buylocal #supportlocal

Fun to see CHASING SHADOWS, my new book written with shark biologist @GregSkomal break 10k on Amazon the day before releasing.

We had a great night in the Karen Talbot Art Gallery for Art Walk. We're looking forward to taking an even deeper dive into sharks next week with the launch of my new book CHASING SHADOWS, written with @GregSkomal and illustrated by @KarenTalbotArt. Ready?

Please join us for Art Walk tonight in Rockland, Maine at the Karen Talbot Art Gallery at 239 Cedar Street. @KarenTalbotArt has a great show! Doors open at 6pm. #artwalk #artsinrockland #localart #karentalbotart

I thought about white sharks while "swimming" at our favorite local beach on Maine's Penobscot Bay today. In CHASING SHADOWS, my book w/ Greg Skomal that releases next week, a seal has a near miss with a white shark off Rockport (home of Andre). #whiteshark #mainesharks #seal

Nice to see Amazon pick our book CHASING SHADOWS as a BEST OF THE MONTH pick for Bio/Memoir. @GregSkomal @WmMorrowBooks @karentalbotart
