TWO WARS AND A WEDDING: Virtual Events!
As much as I’d love to be everywhere to celebrate the launch of Two Wars and a Wedding, that would defy the laws of time and space– and radically exceed the amount of childcare I can rustle up. I so hope I’ll see many of you this coming month in Fairfield, Connecticut with Sarah Penner…
Read MoreTWO WARS AND A WEDDING: Betsy and the Red Cross
I was tempted to title this post “Betsy meets Clara Barton”, but that sounded a bit too much like an old Scooby Doo episode…. (Although, really, I’d watch time traveling Scooby Doo.) Forgive me! Book launch makes me a bit loopy. You may know Clara Barton as the Civil War Angel of the Battlefield, America’s…
Read MorePin the Sheep on the W Fan!
You know how Beatriz, Karen, and I always wear our sheep pins to events? Now you, too, can be an official sheep-wearer!

Read MoreTwo Wars and a Wedding: Betsy in Tampa, FL
I know I said I was going to post about the Greco-Turkish War this week, but… it’s very hard to post about the Greco-Turkish War without feeling a little like I’m including spoilers. Since Two Wars and a Wedding doesn’t come out for another two weeks (two weeks, folks!!!!) and the book actually opens in…

Join me on @robinkallink’s Instagram Live at 3pm ET this afternoon as we chat about my upcoming Two Wars and a Wedding! I’m in Tucson on retreat with the rest of Team W right now– we’re polishing up Team W Book 5!– but I’ll be popping out to babble about 19th century Greece and Cuba…
Read MoreTWO WARS AND A WEDDING: Betsy in Greece
With three weeks to go until Two Wars and a Wedding appears in stores, it’s time to explore Greece– 1896 Greece, that is! In 1896, Smith College grad Betsy Hayes arrives in Athens to study at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, one of two female students among a bunch of Harvard guys. …
Read MoreReady… Set… Peep!
Welcome the to 13th Annual Pinkorama! Some claim that thirteen is an unlucky number– but I think thirteen could just be our lucky Peep! I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that a random impulse thirteen years ago– “Hey! Does anyone feel like making a Pink Carnation-themed diorama out of Peeps?”– has…
