A Book Party!

Don't they say seven is a lucky number? I sure think so! I'll be celebrating 7 years of Lifestyles of Gods & Monsters at Sammy's Bookshelf in Little Rock on Thursday, October 15 at 6:00 pm, and I'd love to see you! I'll sign books and we'll have a Q&A and there will be snacks!

Thanks so much for continuing to read and support!

Talk with you soon,

Three Things I Love...

A raincoat!

I've been on the hunt for a lightweight raincoat and I finally found my new favorite.

BBQ University

I got to accompany the griller in our family to Steve Raichlen's BBQ University in Solvang, California, and I am telling you. I have never eaten so well. Also, it was gorgeous.

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel

I can't believe I've never included this wonderful book in the newsletter. If you haven't read it, please do. It's about Henry VIII minister Thomas Cromwell and it's like no other historical fiction I've ever read. Alive in all the best ways. A wonder.

My Books

Lifestyles of Gods & Monsters is a modern, reality-TV retelling of the story of the Minotaur. It follows 17-year-old Ariadne, famous since she was born, as she fights to save her brother and make her own destiny in a world where celebrity, surveillance, and a manufactured "reality" play out in a landscape of gods and monsters.
​
​Life, Motherhood & the Pursuit of the Perfect Handbag is a laugh-out-loud funny look at the trials and joys of working parenthood and a great read for anyone (with children or not) who can't figure out how to meet expectations at work and in her personal life while keeping space for her own ambitions and dreams.
