this photo makes me feel like one of the designing women. Please notice that i have a ring that says “slow dance.”

Slow Dance was selected by Reese’s Book Club for the month of August, and it’s been a truly magical experience for me.

I actually got to go to Los Angeles to meet the RBC team — they were lovely — and there was a big party to celebrate the book and books in general, with wine and roses. (Sponsored by Decoy Wines.) It’s just really hard for me to imagine a nicer way to bring a book into the world, and I’m so grateful.

If you’re reading Slow Dance, Reese’s Book Club has so much bonus content. I wrote this essay about the book — sort of a letter to readers — along with a video introducing it.

And the Club is posting all kinds of behind-the-scenes good stuff on Instagram. Like, I shared photos of Omaha locations I used in the book. And I gave a tour of my office. And shared scenes from a day in my life as an author.

If you want to join the conversation about the book, here is the official discussion post. I find Reese’s readers to be really friendly and open. It’s a place for people who truly love books.
