What an amazing month it’s been!
I can’t believe The Stranger Inside was published a full month ago. It’s been a whirlwind, so I’m collecting all my favorite links about it here. Lots of folks worked hard to bring this novel to as many readers as possible, and the results have been overwhelmingly positive! I’m crazy thankful for every one of them, especially Little Brown/Mulholland publicity gurus, Katharine Myers and Jennifer Shaffer. Then there are the booksellers who were both enthusiastic and generous. And, of course…you! Every social media post, lovely email, and review makes a huge difference. I feel like the luckiest writer alive.

Right now I’m working on the new book, pondering my winter-ravaged flower garden, and getting ready for both spring break, and my trip to Vancouver. Have you been there? I never have and can’t wait.
Happy almost-spring! xx
