Had a blast talking to Clare Beams about her beautiful and, ahem, haunting novel. You all should really give it a read.

North Bay friends, I’ll be chatting with H Michell (author of the fabulous novel Excavations) this Friday at 1 College of Marin. Hope to see some of you there.

I don’t know what else to do except post on here but I’m so ill. I’ve had severe stomach pain and other GI symptoms for a week now. Have hardly eaten anything; dehydrated. Doctors are worried it might be Crohn’s. I’m terrified. Please pray for me.

BOOK BLURB TRAILER TIME!

Overjoyed to present my debut novel & a huge part of my heart. Inspired by the life of my Japanese grandmother, this is very much a family story (that’s my aunt’s sketch on the bottom right!) and I’m so proud. Please read more about it and preorder here: bit.ly/48AmJdE
