Off to Florida
Just back from book tour in the Carolinas and I'm off to Vero Beach and Stuart, FL this week. Hope to meet some Goodreads readers there! The paperback of The Summer Before The War is now out and I just learned it will debut at #13 on the Indie bestseller list for March 1. Very exciting news. Thank you to all of you who rushed out to buy it. It's so fun to see my paperback in all the airport bookshops as I travel. I sort of hang about in front of the display taking pictures and hope someone will ask me why - no luck so far! Off to pack...

Writing a novel is like carrying around armfuls of spaghetti and meatballs without a bowl. It can be a lonely process and we all need friends, teachers and whatever sources of inspiration get us through the next few chapters. Maybe you'll find your next creative boost right here on Goodreads? I'm certainly looking forward to getting book recommendations and talking about writing as I face the blank pages of my second novel. Does it get any easier, I wonder?
