I've been fortunate to have my books published in many countries in many languages, but never in Macedonian in North Macedonia! "The Book of Us," my teen novel about the behavior of boys in relationships with girls, has just been sold to Cudna Suma (ID Concept) there. #reading

"Show" comes out today! For YA and adult readers, a tale of adventure, entertainment, suspense and the importance of respecting others, all others. Set in an imagined 1899 in North Britain and the Empire of America. Hopefully, more than just entertaining! In stores now! #books

"Show" now in stores, is off to a great start with several lovely reviews, The Children's Books Council in the U.S. listing it as one of its "Hot Off the Press" books of "anticipated bestsellers" and this interview with me about it from "Open Book" open-book.ca/News/A-Ragtag-…

I got the idea for my latest YA (and adult) novel "Show" before the current president of what is often referred to as "America" first came to power, and it's set in an imagined 1899, but as the days pass this year, it continues to surprise me how contemporary its concerns remain.

Many readers of "As We Forgive Others," which won the Crime Writers of Canada Award for Best Novel Set in Canada, were hoping for a sequel. There were secrets that needed to be revealed. Well, the next one, told from Alice Morrow's perspective, is about to launch. #crime novel
