An honest and inspiring article by two of my talented—and persistent—literary friends. I wrote jacket quotes for their two latest novels, which are just wonderful! #writerscommunity #historicalfiction #writerslife

Thank you, @WomenWriters, for keeping me and my books in your thoughts! My broken wrist is finally healing. What a difficult time this has been for me! And I know it has been a very difficult time for so many people in the world who are going through far worse things! #writers

In What Disappears, author Barbara Quick immerses the reader in a fascinating chiaroscuro world of ballet, fashion, and history, deftly shifting between Tsarist Russia and Paris in the time of Proust and Colette. goodreads.com/review/show/47…

Thank you, @WomenWriters, for keeping my most translated book (13 foreign editions and counting!) in the public eye. Anna Maria dal Violin is like a daughter to me. Who will play Anna Maria in the miniseries? 🤔 #HistoricalFiction #literaryfiction #venice #violinist #vivaldi

Missouri Republicans have voted to defund all public libraries. It is an apparent extortion attempt to try to force libraries to remove books that include LGBTQ characters or racial justice themes. (per @HeartlandSignal) heartlandsignal.com/2023/04/…
