in a few days, and I cannot wait to share it with the world. I wrote a blog piece on my inspiration for it which I'll share later.

We've been soo fortunate with it: great reviews, a mention in Oprahdaily,and most recently: it's been picked by the UK's Booksellers Association as their Book of the Month. It's carrying that shiny seal that says so too. Validation from Booksellers, librarians, book clubs and teachers tickle a different way. I am super, super thrilled, honored etc.

I'd never planned my own gigs and thought that maybe I should. I reached out to bookstores here (ATL) to see if I could do readings. That was more difficult than I'd expected. Anyway throwing it out into the universe: if you run a bookstore in ATL , I'd love to pop in and do a reading before the traveling gets crazy...

Have a wonderful new week. And I really should get back to posting more consistently here
