If I’m not coming near you, never fear: I’ll be touring again in June for THE MOON AND MORE and hitting a bunch of other cities. Stay tuned!

I know, it’s been FOREVER since I’ve done any real appearances. What can I say, I was writing a book. And raising a kid. And watching Bravo. But now it is 2013 and I will be once again Getting Back Out there. First up: an event at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, PA. It’s Friday, January 18th at 7pm and you can get tickets and info here. Hope to see you!

Okay, so I am SO excited to finally be able to share a link to the cover from my new book, THE MOON AND MORE, plus an excerpt from the first chapter. It’s so thrilling and sort of terrifying to put something out there that I’ve been working on for two-plus years. So without further ado (although I do like the ado): HERE IT IS.

I would like to savor this more but my kid needs to look at pictures of fairies on the internet. Back to reality!

Have a great day, everyone!

 

I just realized that the appearance dates I have up here on my website are over a year old. Whoops! Truth is, after the last tour ended last December, I was SO exhausted I haven’t done much of anything. Other than, um, write another book. Which will be out June 4, 2013. It’s called THE MOON AND MORE. Plus, the paperback of WHAT HAPPENED TO GOODBYE will be released in April 2013. What this means is I WILL have appearances to post, lots of them, probably in the new year. So stay tuned!

This weekend commences the LAST official trip of this Book Tour That Never Ends:
