Weekly Reading Round-Up
Happy Friday, all! With book launch fast approaching (FOUR DAYS!), I’ve been clutching my comfort reads like a teddy bear. Which is really thematically appropriate now that I think about it, since teddy bears were named after Teddy Roosevelt, and Teddy Roosevelt is a significant side character in Two Wars and a Wedding. But before…
Read MoreTWO 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! Over the next few months, Beatriz, Karen, and I will all be appearing at Litchfield Books’s incredible author luncheons to talk about our individual books. Everyone who attends all three luncheons will be…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
Happy Friday, all! It’s March! Which means we’re in the final lead up to my kids’ spring break and the launch of Two Wars and a Wedding, which occur at the same time. Next week is Pajama Day, bring your instrument to school day, Donate a Book Day, talking to my daughter’s class about Women’s…
Read MoreBook Tour!
With the release of Two Wars and a Wedding fast approaching, I’m getting ready to go on the road! If you’re in any of these parts of the world, I hope you can join me! (The Connecticut, Pawleys Island, and Rhode Island events are ticketed, so be sure to grab your ticket before they sell…
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…
Read MoreHello, Tucson!!
There’s nothing like the joy of mingling with fellow authors and readers at a big, bustling book festival! I’m so happy to be here in Tucson for the Tucson Festival of Books! You can find me tomorrow, Saturday, March 4th at 11:30am, with the other two thirds of Team W, Karen White and Beatriz Williams,…
Read MoreChatting with Robin!
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. …
