Launched!

With many thanks to all of you!

That cake was REALLY good.

Maybe it takes a village to raise a kid, but it takes a megalopolis to release and promote a book, and I’m so grateful to everyone who’s helped in any way—just being here with me at So Much Stuff means more than I can say.

Thanks especially to

Megan Staffel

for joining me in conversation about A New Day at POWERHOUSE Arena Bookstore, to my wonderful publicist Caitlin Hamilton, who pitched and landed the event—and to those of you who could make it there from places near and far. Much gratitude and extra thanks to

Brooke Warner

and the team at She Writes Press.

Back to my usual programming next week, but for today here’s a roundup of some recent author news and upcoming events.

Two short essays out in the world:

• One up at Necessary Fiction about my circuitous path to becoming a writer.

• And a another at Women Writers, Women’s Books, about building a linked story collection.

And for a pair of wonderful interviews:

• Big thanks to

Rachel León

and her Substack Pub Cheerleaders

• And to Deborah Kalb Books

• On Tuesday Sept. 10th at 7:00 PM, I’ll be reading from A New Day as part of the No Required Reading Series, hosted by Alex Vara, at Pete’s Candy Store.
709 Lorimer St, Brooklyn, NY.

• It’s still a ways away, but Sunday Sept. 29th, I’ll be at the Brooklyn Book Festival, so look for the two She Writes Press tables and come say hello!
Korean War Veterans Plaza, Cadman Plz W, Brooklyn, NY
