Grandmother-Granddaughter Book Club Virtual Visit Giveaway!

I'm inviting bookstores, libraries, PTOs, and schools to launch a GRANDMOTHER-GRANDDAUGHTER BOOK CLUB to read this multi-generational novel. My hope is that the novel is sweet enough for sharing but deep enough for bonding.

I'm giving away THREE free virtual visits to a bookstore, library, or school, during which I'll visit your grandmother-granddaughter book club to chat, laugh, and answer questions. Email me for a discussion guide and to enter the giveaway.

In Real Life Book Launch Parties!

You're invited to an East Coast  book launch party  on 9/24 at 2 p.m. at Newtonville Books in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, and a West Coast  book launch party  on 10/1 at 2 p.m. at  Mrs. Dalloway's Books  in Berkeley, California. Rumor has it that we might enjoy a brief Kathak dance demo and maybe even learn a few steps at both events.
