At the beach with the the bean, Lucy, and Bailey. Zachary thinks that any seashell he finds is edible.

A very belated photo from the Prohibition event at Musica a few weeks ago. Lucy Clarke and I had a great time blast!

I'm strolling around town today to finish off my Christmas shopping before the big day next week. I'm trying to avoid any toy stores because I swear a saw a woman shove someone down to grab the last of some doll off a shelf the other day, ha!

The sunset is following us as we fly back to Sanditon from Connecticut. 🌇

Big news coming up next week! I'm thrilled and can't wait for you guys to hear about it!

Smooth as a chocolate martini. ;) #SandiBall

Farmers' Market with Lucy Clarke and then a nice drive to Bakersfield.

Interested in Italian for tonight, Lucy Clarke? There's a new food truck in town! x.com/TheLeoCA/statu…

Flying to New York today with Lucy Clarke to meet with the publisher about the next book!

Early morning in New York. Being a tourist with Lucy Clarke before my meetings start today. :)

Flying back into Sanditon later today. Time to get our little bean back from his spoiling grandparents! Ha! Lucy Clarke

We're taking a walk along the beach to work off some of those excellent meals we had in the big city over the past week. :)

Oh yes! Lucy Clarke knows my Blackjack skills firsthand! x.com/SanditonEvents…

Yes, come on by! Matthew Larsen and I found a *large* bundle of fireworks to set off tonight! :P x.com/HopkinsClarkeP…

Aaaand we're away on a midweek trip to the LA museum with the bee and Ellie Clarke. 👍

Created a small memory capsule, if you will, for the holiday this week. It was just as fun making it as it was seeing Lucy open it. :)

Cleaning the house today before going out. When did our son acquire so many toys? Especially ones that hurt to step on? Ha! Lucy Clarke

It's #IndependentBookstoreDay! I'll be at Sanditon Books signing books and giving a talk plus a Q&A today at 3pm. Come on out and support your local bookstores! Visit one or visit them all! Sanditon Events
