Coming to you from my luxury suite at the BWI airport Hilton, so please excuse the lack of makeup and absence of fucks left to give. So much batshittery in this country from this MAGA administration, it’s hard to focus. Except—my readers are mostly women. And our lives, our rights, our wellbeing are under siege from all directions. I want to thank all of you for buying ROAD TRIP, for coming out to my events, and for letting me know you appreciate me using my platform to speak out. But let’s stop with the whispers. Let’s stop being sweet and complacent. Let’s stop putting up with letting corrupt old white dudes making laws for their own benefit. WTAF y’all? #8647

Yesterday at the Delaware beaches was a fabulous day of my #roadtrip book tour—and a gorgeous summer day to boot.

Huge thanks to Zandria and her team at @bethanybeachbooks for a fun daytime in-store meet-and-greet. Those events are always so easy breezy and yet so many readers come in the door and so many books go out the door.

And I bow down as always to the incredible Susan Kehoe at @browseaboutbooks in Rehoboth. She hosted a packed house off-site event at the @lewes.library with sooooo many books.

Both of these stores have loads of signed copies so go see them all summer long when you’re at the beach to get yours!

The tour rolls on! Check my website for book deets, buy links & event info!

☘️Spring Lake NJ☘️ you really showed up and showed out last night! I’m so grateful to the amazing @thesaltybookworm and her incredible team at @thunderroadbooks for such a fabulous event at the @springlaketheatre. It was an especially nice landing after a super rough travel day that included a 4am wakeup, 6am flight, deplaning due to a repair needed on the plane, a five hour delay, a missed stock signing, and lost luggage that had me dress shopping before the event. If you noticed no jewelry or makeup and sneakers on my feet, #dontjudge. Never fear. The bag was retrieved and all is back on track today. This epic #roadtrip rolls on!

Check links in my bio for book details, buy links & event info. Come see me on the road! Stops this upcoming week include Severna Park MD, Cleveland & Bexley OH, Franklin IN, St. Louis, Fairhope, AL & Huntington NY.

Thursday was one of those magical days on book tour where everything goes just right. When you begin the day with pal @timtalksbooks talking up #roadtrip on the @todayshow while taping an interview over Zoom with @marycalvitv you know you’re off to a solid start. Fill the day with readers and indie booksellers and author pals and you’re living the dream.

Big thanks to @storybookshoppe and @patconroyliterarycenter for hosting a great daytime event where I was in convo with @cassandra_king_author. My dear friend @pattichenry not only hosted us for a sleepover but showed her smiling self up for all the things. Then it was on to Charleston for a great evening event hosted by @buxtonbooks_chs where in was in convo with Patti. The cherry on top of a magnificent day was getting some great TV adaptation news right before the evening event began. I made sure to toast this banner day over cocktails with my road warrior partner in crime @megwalker1225 feeling exhausted but super grateful.

Friday brought its own set of adventures…! More on that soon.

For now we are on a ferry headed to the Delaware beaches. Come see me with @bethanybeachbooks and @browseaboutbooks on Saturday June 6th!

Join us on this traveling road show! Tour details on my website linked in my bio.
