Weekly Reading Round-Up
Hello from the book tour whirlwind!

There are very few things that can make a five…
Read MoreAudio and Podcasts and Radio Interviews, Oh My!
Today is all about things for listening! (Rather than things that go, which is my toddler’s preference. So much vrooming. But I digress.) I’ll be speaking live today at 4:00 pm EST with host Pam Stark of Authors on the Air. Tune in live on Blog Talk Radio or catch the recorded program later on…

I’m homeward bound! (And, yes, if you’re one of the people in the courtyard outside my hotel room in Scottsdale, please try to ignore the off key warbling, “Homeward boooooouuuund!”) It’s been a glorious book tour, but I am so looking forward to setting foot once more on the cracked pavement of my own hometown…

Hello from book tour! I’ve been having the best time roaming the country talking about The Summer Country (if I saw you on the road this week, hi! And if you’re in Chicago, come see me tonight at 57th Street Books! But I digress). The other great thing about book tour? Tons of travel time…

It’s goodbye to Georgia and hello to Wisconsin! I’ll be speaking tonight at the gorgeous Lynden Sculpture Garden as part of their marvelous women’s speaker series. Come for the wine and cheese, stay for the beautiful sculptures– and, oh yes, intrigue and drama in colonial Barbados! The ticket price of $31 dollars ($26 for members)…

I’m so thrilled to be launching The Summer Country at one of my very favorite bookstores, FoxTale Book Shoppe, with one of my very favorite people, Karen White! Come find us tonight at FoxTale Book Shoppe in Woodstock to raise a glass to The Summer Country and discuss all things Barbados and Team W! And…
Read MoreHappy Birthday to THE SUMMER COUNTRY!
I’ve spent a decade thinking about The Summer Country, including two years researching it, and one year writing it– so I can’t believe it’s finally a book! And in stores! And people seem to like it so far! This is my first ever book to receive the Historical Novel Society’s mark of approval: the Editors’…
