Thank you Bookmiser & The Milton Library

for including me in your North Atlanta Author Series on Saturday. It was a pleasure to sit in that beautiful room and talk books and life with such a welcoming and interested crowd.

And of course, a giant thanks to my friend Lisa Shore, a fellow writer and the Captain to my Tennille. Her thoughtful questions always guide me gracefully to a better conversation, and I remain profoundly grateful for her time and support.

Saturday June 23rd 2-3:30 PM at The Milton Library

Hello Atlanta friends. I'm speaking at The Milton Library this Saturday from 2-3:30 PM with my incomparable wing-woman extraordinaire Lisa Shore leading a Q&A about Inheriting Edith and beyond.

Would love to see you. xx
