The Summer State of Mind tour has begun and seeing you feels so extra special already! It’s a mix of some of my very favorite places—like Charleston, SC and Beaufort, NC, where I’ve been so far—and a few new ones I’ve been dreaming of visiting, like Gig Harbor and Seattle! We had a packed house today!
I loved celebrating with so many friends, neighbors, and readers who have been wildly supportive of me. I am so grateful for each and every face in that crowd and…
My sweet husband, who was in conversation with me for the first time ever! Aren’t we going to have fun in a city near you?! Whether we’re gathering over lunch, in a cozy bookstore, or at a library down the road, each stop is a chance to celebrate this story together, which, honestly, just might be my favorite part!
Greensboro, Greenville, SC, and Raleigh are sold out, but I’d love to see you in Salisbury, NC, Chapel Hill, NC, Tampa, FL, Franklin, IN, St. Louis, MO, and Gig Harbor, WA — and that’s just what’s coming this week!
And if you can’t make it in person, preordering (or ordering on launch week!) is one of the very best ways to support this book. It means more than I can ever possibly say!
Counting down the minutes until tomorrow! Official pub day! Until then…
Check Out this Sneak Peek!
Aunt Tilley is one of my favorite characters in this book. And The Nerd Daily just ran a fun excerpt from her point of view, so you can get a little sneak peek of her character! Check it out!
An Amazing Interview!
I loved doing this interview with publishing pro ! We did a deep dive into publishing, marketing, and storytelling, and I talked about things that I’ve never talked about before—largely because Bianca and I worked together for years, and she knows it all! It was absolutely great. I hope you’ll give it a listen! And, if you’re interested in the publishing world, make sure you give her a follow here on Substack on her podcast!
Thanks for following along on this journey. Thank you for reading and for supporting this new novel. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
