Happy February! I have one slot open this month and one in April. Reach out if you're interested or have any questions. I've been doing this for almost 20 years and love working with writers. (Yes, I had to double-check that number.) shorturl.at/nCxWV

Cried, left food in the local food panty, donated to @onetreeplanted. Gonna try to process this as quickly as possible and keep putting one foot in front of the other. There are always ways to make my little corner better, wherever that might be.

When asked to do a book club for HOLLOW BONES at my high school reunion, I thought it would be fun. Now I have to leave in thirty minutes, and I'm so nervous!

This is me except when somebody unexpectedly asks me for a book recommendation, and I panic, thinking, wait have I ever even read a book?

My last event of the year will be the wonderful @SoFestofBooks later this month in Nashville, Tennessee (about sixty miles away from my hometown the way the crow flies). I am stoked. sofestofbooks.org/

I just wrote "Remember to eat lunch" in my planner for the 26th. I get a little excited at this festival. 😂

"The flip side of saying no is saying yes more fully, less grudgingly — because I’m not living life like a pat of butter spread too thinly across toast." I needed this Leslie Jamison essay today. nytimes.com/2024/02/28/well/…

If you are a DC area author and have a book coming out in the next few months, or if you have a friend who fits that description, I would be interested in learning more for @dctrending, where I am the local authors editor. We publish book reviews and author interviews. DM me!
