Special interview alert! Link in bio. The backstor

Special interview alert! Link in bio. The backstory: nearly two years ago, I signed up for an intensive workshop @highlightsfound to delve into the book of my heart. The instructors were none other than the inimitable @thatlauraruby and @anneelizabethursu, so I was prepared for it to be an amazing week of learning about craft. And, boy, was it. What I wasn’t prepared for was that I’d forge deep, lasting connections with all the participants, each of whom were remarkable and inspiring in their own right. We came home, set up a Slack channel, got each other through tough times, laughed, shared wins and losses, exchanged gifts and stickers... in short, we became dear friends.
This week, one of those dear friends, @patmccawauthor, asked if she could interview me for her blog. I was delighted. I’ve posted the link to her questions, and my answers, first among the links in my bio. Pat is a powerhouse of kindness and wit, a doctor as well as a talented writer. So after you read the interview, linger a while and get to know a name you’ll be hearing more from.
I share this story to remind you that writing can sometimes feel like a solitary journey, but writing friends make it all worthwhile. No matter what you do as your craft or passion, remember to hang on to the ones who have been with you along the way.

The utter loveliness that is @asjouhanneau took the time to talk up LOVE IN ENGLISH in this Entertainment Weekly piece on authors recommending books. Here are two things you may (or may not but should!) know about Anso: she’s already had an awesome career writing in French. And KISSES AND CROISSANTS, her American debut, is getting all the love it has for very good reason! So go check it out. And the link to these recommendations can be reached through my website (link in bio) Media page. Warning: only go check it out if you’re ready for your TBR pile to grow and topple over.

Come fangirl with me over the awesome authors I get to chat with on this @nttbfest panel, just a few hours away. @elisembryant @flakesharon @jenniferniven @harlemportland and Diana Ma, whom I can’t seem to find on IG, but go connect with her on Twitter! 2:00 pm Central, 3:00 pm Eastern. And check out the whole festival and its day full of panels you can attend from anywhere. Such a treat! #yalit

LOVE IN ENGLISH has gotten a lot of love, and ever

LOVE IN ENGLISH has gotten a lot of love, and every single kind review and article has meant a lot. This round-up lists books with some of the most kick-butt protagonists out there in anticipation of #womenshistorymonth ... and Ana is among them. This touches me particularly because it recognizes that strength isn’t always roundhouse kicks and boldness. Sometimes we have to call on our strength the most when we feel vulnerable or out of our element. Thank you @epicreads for putting Ana in with this admirable bunch. And here’s to women’s history every day of the year.

Independent bookstores are just the best, which is why this honor is particularly sweet. Peeps... LOVE IN ENGLISH has been selected as a Spring 2021 Indie Next Pick! Thank you, independent booksellers, for taking the time to read and recommend this story and for including the book in such company! And thank you A Seat at the Table Books and Emily Autenrieth for this thoughtful review. So grateful. Pinching myself a little! Okay, a lot. #indienext #indienextlist

Only one thing could motivate me to dig out of a foot and a half of snow (with the awesome help of my kids) and that was getting out to see my book in the wild on its book birthday! Thank you @bnhackensack @bn for letting me have my author moment. Signed copies in the store! (Mask courtesy of my wonderful agency @pippinproperties @saraagent).
