Iām not very good at Canva but I AM good at writing tropical thrillers with puzzle-box mysteries and flawed, fascinating characters (if I do say so myself)! Canāt wait to share this with you all on 5/20/25!
Meta abruptly changed the dimensions of grid photos, so Iām out here trying to replace my pinned posts! Here are my beloved first babiesāan indie-sleaze whodunit and a girlboss mystery in a bougie all-female coworking space.
ONE NIGHT ONLY! @andibartz pauses while securing $1.5b for authors everywhere to dust off her cape and make a stop at the Best Bookstore in Union Square (around the corner from Anthropicās HQ!!!) if you support authors fighting for their work not to be stolen come on out!!!
TONIGHT MAY 12 at 6 pm at the Best Bookstore in Union Square we are HONORED to host a last minute event for best selling thriller author @andibartz who is in town for the court to approve her final settlement with Anthropic on behalf of ALL AUTHORS whose work was stolen for their engines. You wonāt want to miss this conversation moderated by @paulbradleycarr
#thrillerfest was a joyful blurāI saw so many old friends and made new ones, basked in the brilliance of authors and book lovers, laughed til my side hurt at dinners, drinks, and parties, and thanked my lucky stars that Iām part of this warm, wonderful community. More to come (including a recap of the awards banquet during which Iā¦somehow gave a speech in front of all my heroes, @rl_stine1 among them?!), but for now: Thanks so much, friends, and till next time!
Lordy, Lordy! So grateful to all the friends who made this past weekend so much funāand who make my life so full. From cocktails in the forest to spotting salamanders in the lake to an epic taco bar (compliments of @jdills26 ) and photo booth (compliments of my local thrift shop), this trip upstate was one for the ages!
Final 30 minutes of my 30s! Iām feeling good about the milestone, grateful for my community, and excited about all the adventure the next decade will bring. Iām observing the May Day data and general strike and encourage you to do the same! Cheers, and thanks for making this trip around the sun such a memorable one. š„
Letās hang out!! Iāll be in San Francisco in May for the Bartz v Anthropic final approval hearing, so I ofc had to squeeze in an event with my bud @paulbradleycarr at @bestbookstorecorp . ā”ļø Then, in June, THE LAST FERRY OUT comes out in paperback, and Iām celebrating with signings across the US! Mark your calendars and watch andreabartz.com/events for details. Where will I see you?
Everyone join me in wishing my sister @juliabartz a happy birthday!! Cheers to new books, more adventures, lots of laughter, and the best year yet! š
