Nashville Rolled Out the Red Carpet (and the squash casserole) for Lilac Girls

Clockwise: My hosts at The Centennial Club, Cathy Altenbern and Sarah Knestrick, the wonderful CC crowd, Nashville best food eva, snuck in a trip to supercute store Draper James, signing CC guestbook

Living in Atlanta, I thought I knew all about southern hospitality but Nashville took it to a whole new level last week when I visited Music City to talk about my novel Lilac Girls. The all-female The Centennial Club welcomed me with open arms (and squash casserole to die for) I signed and spoke at the wonderful Parnassus Books and even snuck in a tour of Music City, a little shopping at Draper James and thanks to Cathy Altenbern and company enjoyed so many fabulous meals. LOVED touring lovely Cheekwood and who knew there was a Parthenon in Tennessee? I’m always late to the party. Excited to come back on the paperback tour!

Parnassus let me share a table with Stephen King. Feeling pretty special.
