The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books has announced their 2026 lineup, Apr 18-19 at USC. Megan Abbott, Lou Berney, S.A. Cosby, Margot Douaihy and Marisa Kashino are the authors I'm looking forward to talking to. I come away motivated by the generosity and relatability of these terrific writers. Douaihy wrote me a note in her novel Scorched Grace I read all the time.

That sounds like an incredible event, and what a stellar lineup! 📝 You can truly feel the heartbeat of a culture through its contemporary writers.I love what you said about coming away motivated by their generosity and relatability. It takes a great mind to appreciate another great mind. And having a personal note from Margot Douaihy in your copy of Scorched Grace is an absolute treasure! It’s magical how a few handwritten words from an author can become a constant source of inspiration in our daily lives.Since you read her note all the time, do you mind sharing what she wrote? I’d love to hear the story behind it
