My alter-ego will be at the CALIBA and PNBA shows to toast indie booksellers with #mondaynightmocktails this fall. (And I may even scout your booths for my clients' books). See you there!

Can’t WAIT to get my hands on this book!

I just sent back my revisions to the copyedited manuscript of my book, Street Cats and Where to Find Them! Next time I see my book, it'll be to approve page proofs in October! 😻😻 I'm so incredibly grateful to have a remarkable team helping to bring this special book to life!💜

What she said!

Hey Bay Area friends! Wanna get a signed copy of my book? Stop by my publisher's booth at LitQuake at the green in Yerba Buena Park in front of the MLK Waterfall on Saturday, October 19. I'll be there at 3 pm and would love to see you!

My clients are so sweet!

A note: When we (agents) try to be nice and respond with a specific reason (which you asked for) about a rejection, and you don't handle it well is one big reason why we (agents) use form rejections. We can't change the state of the industry, even when we wish we could.

Chicago friends! Join me on Halloween eve for signed books and mocktails at after-words bookstore 23 East Illinois Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611. It's the perfect stop before your costume party or trick-or-treat adventure!
