Thank you, Rakestraw Books and Books Inc., for two amazing readings in Northern California last week. I was truly touched by the turnout & energized by the audience’s terrific questions about THE SUMMER LIST, my writing process, and what it’s like to be a debut author.

One thing I’ve learned in my first week of readings, based on the photographic evidence? I gesture. A lot. Just call me #JazzHands.

See some of the pics here.
