Summer and one more bookstore event….
Hello and happy summer, y’all!
I have (mostly) recovered from book tour, catching up on sleep and TV and everything else. This week we head out on family vacation, which I am SO excited about, but while in MA I have one event, at Eight Cousins Bookstore in Falmouth, MA. So if you’ll be on the Cape, come say hello! It’s July 25th at 4pm. Details are here.
Hope you are all staying cool and eating lots of ice cream. (That’s what summer is to me, partly.) I will leave you with a picture of our ne...

ONCE AND FOR ALL tour ends and a short story! (About lizards, you’ve been warned.)
Hello, everyone! Well, it’s been a BIT of whirlwind lately. The ONCE AND FOR ALL tour is done (and it’s number four on the NYT list this week, thank you for that!) and I was SO honored to receive the Margaret Edwards Award at ALA in Chicago. I’ve been home for ten days, basically reading, watching Bravo and sleeping. (The cure for all that ails me, always.) I also have been helping out with my husband’s lizard breeding business, Steadfast Lizards, which this weekend meant pitching in at the R...

ONCE AND FOR ALL TOUR continues this week!
Whew! That’s about all I can say after a GREAT week in NYC and the surrounding area doing the launch and events for ONCE AND FOR ALL. I stayed in a hotel for a full week—I love New York, but my country mouse self had a hard time with all the sirens and noise—and met SO many amazing readers. Then it was to Fairfax, VA for a quick stop and LOVELY time, then home to Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh, which was like Old Home Week. Y’all, I have missed that twang.
Tomorrow, I am off AGAIN to Texas and...

TOUR DATES FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL!

I’ll also have an event in Cape Cod in July, confirmed SOON!
(Sorry for all the exclamation points, I’m a little excited.)

Well, hello there.
So it’s been awhile, huh? Actually, if you follow me on Twitter it probably doesn’t seem like it at all, as I can’t seem to stay AWAY from that medium, despite what it does to my blood pressure these days. But here on the blog, as well as my Facebook page—where I swore the publicity and marketing people at Penguin I would start posting more and I MEANT IT I SWEAR—I’ve been kind of scarce. What can I say? Busy fall. Election results were rough for me. (Maybe not for you, which is fine, but for...
