Today is paperback day for WHY WE CAME TO THE CITY, the book that The New York Times called “a love letter to Manhattan.”

Pick up a copy of your first great read of the summer at your local bookstore or online!

Kit Reed at the Miami Herald described it as a “wonderful, unforgettable novel” about “an intricate web of lives in the big city… [Jansma] writes with power and passion about a loving quartet of friends and one hopeful outsider, all restless twentysomethings building new lives in New York.”

It’s a book that you’ll love and love again. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.

I’ll post more soon about upcoming readings and events, but here is a full schedule.
