The twins wanted to go to the local park downtown and write messages of love for everyone who might wander through. We left chalk so that others could join in, and the result is love, love, love. Now more than ever it’s so important to make it lovely and to be a bright place. Thank you for being mine, lovelies!

Amazing new books by amazing authors! Pre-order/order now from your favorite indie bookshop, lovelies. Let’s save our indie bookstores and support these wonderful writers! And please stay home and stay safe! Love, love, love ❤️ #repost @kkletter

Some author friends and I who are launching our books into this nightmare made a little video in the hopes of encouraging people to #saveindiebookstores. Please stay home because we love you and want you to be safe❤️, shop local bookstores because they really need the business right now and check out these books by these awesome authors. It’s such a hard time to have a book coming out and every single one of their books is amazing and had huge buzz and book tours and the rest before everything fell apart. I recommend any and all! (And yes I did accidentally delete my first attempt at this post bc I’m an idiot) #beachreads #thrillers #bookclubfiction #quarantinereads

This is me hard at work on a couple of different projects. And my loyal helper @lunalovefold (who is particularly wide-eyed today). I am so incredibly grateful that I’m able to keep working during this unsettling time. How are my lovelies? Are you at home? Are you staying safe? Share one (or more!) things you did today to make it bright.

When you have your very own @wsj legendary hedcut! And you can’t believe it. And you want to burst into happy, grateful tears, but you don’t because you can’t stop looking at it. ❤️

Look, lovelies! It’s @ellefanning and @standup4justice (and candy!) in between takes of shooting their blue hole scene.

Happy Birthday to my extraordinary mom, who was the brightest light and love and joy personified. She made everyone and everything lovely. To quote one of her poems, she was always the shining times, and today—like every day—“I take out from the heartstore the memory of you…” (Her full poem is in my story.) ✨

Purple pencils. First pass manuscript. Pile of literary cats. It’s time to begin my last round of edits on the new novel. My most personal story since #AlltheBrightPlaces

Years ago I moved to Los Angeles, head and heart stuffed with dreams I’d been dreaming since childhood. I used to drive down Sunset Boulevard, my favorite street in my favorite city, gazing up at all the billboards and dreaming of one day seeing my name up there. And now this!!!!!
