Had some fantastic visits with book clubs this week to discuss A GOOD MARRIAGE—nothing makes me happier than connecting with readers. Thank you for sharing your time with me and my book and for your great questions. An extra special thank you to @cvillebooksandwine (Panel 1); librarian extraordinaire Elaine at the @kemmererlibrary (Panel 2); and @droseauthor (Panel 3) for setting them up. Keep the requests coming everyone—you can message me here, on my website, or on Facebook. I will be there if I can!

Also, not to brag but I think my 4th of July styling on these panels is OFF THE HOOK.

Thank you so much @marina13f and @readingismycardiobc for having me join your respective book clubs last week! I had such a great time speaking with all of you. It was an extra special treat to see @marina13f who taught both my daughters’ in pre-school! (And who is also apparently a witch because she looks EXACTLY THE SAME!

In a landmark 6-3 ruling SCOTUS has just extended TITLE VII protections to cover discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

I wrote about this exact issue for the Penn Law Journal for Labor and Employment Law many (okay, many, many) years ago. So this has been too long in coming (and I want to read the actual opinion)—still, proof maybe that all hope is not lost. Happy, happy pride month everyone!

Thank you so much @sarahsbookshelves for having me on your amazing podcast a couple weeks ago. (Link to the episode is in my bio). It’s a testament to your skills as an interviewer that you got me to talk about all these things and more:

* A possible sequel to A Good Marriage.

* The worst parts of being a writer.

* What it was like to finally sell Reconstructing Amelia after 11 long years of trying to publish a book.

* A preview of her next novel.

* How Kimberly’s own experience as a recovering alcoholic influenced her writing of Sam (a character in the book with an alcohol addiction).

* Why Kimberly tries not to read in her genre while she’s writing.

* What is was like to visit Rikers (as research for her book).

Also, I stand by my statement: Portrait Of An Artist As A Young Man is TERRIBLE. Sorry, James Joyce.

Thank you so much Sarah—still looking forward to going full introvert together.

Thank you so much @hillsideoaksbooks and The Sips of Suspense...

Thank you so much @hillsideoaksbooks and The Sips of Suspense (Andi, Amanda, Kate, Rebecca & Brianna) for sharing your respective book clubs with me. There is literally nothing that makes me happier than talking to smart, funny and thoughtful readers like you. And did I mention that I’m coming to all your future meetings even when you’re not discussing my book? LADIES, THIS WAS MY WAY IN.

Took a while to get my hands on an actual copy—magazines (among so many other things) are super scarce in pandemic Brooklyn. But so much better late than never. Thanks again @people.
