NEWS!!! What a gift that I get to write book six and work with the best team in publishing again!! An enormous thank you to my terrific associate publisher Carmen Johnson, my editor extraordinaire Nancy Taylor, my rock star agent Carly Waters, and the rest of the fabulous team at Lake Union. THE ROMAN ASSIGNMENT is inspired by the true stories of the female trailblazers at the CIA in the early days of the Cold War. It’s going to have lots of intrigue, adventure, exotic locations and a healthy dose of romance. 🥰 I’m deep into research now and so incredibly excited about this story. More soon! Xoxo, Jane 📚❤️☺️ #bookstagram #booknews #bookdeal #authorlife publishersmarketplace
We drove to NYC this afternoon to see…this. TBH, we turned the corner and when I saw it, I burst into tears and laughter at the same time. It’s pub week, and The Women of Arlington Hall is on a billboard across from Penn Station and I don’t even have the words. 🥹Grateful to my rock star editor @nancyytaylorr , my amazing agent @carlywatters and the awesome team at @amazonpublishing and @amazonbooks . I’m still pinching myself. #thewomenofarlingtonhall #nyc #newyorkcity #booklaunch #bookstagram
What a joy it was to go to Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie’s event for their latest novel A FOUNDING MOTHER, a novel of Abigail Adams, which is sure to be a huge hit! And always lovely to see my friend Meena Jain at the Ashland Public Library. ❤️📚☺️ #bookstagram #books #bookcommunity #authorsofig #authorssupportingauthors
Still thinking about all the author friends I got to see in real life at the Santa Barbara Literary Festival last weekend. It was exactly what I needed mid-deadline. Again, an enormous thank you to the fabulous Leslie Zemeckis and her entire team! And to Chaucer Books for being the official bookseller! #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #author #bookcommunity #authorssupportingauthors
When Leslie Zemeckis invited me to the Santa Barbara Literary Festival, I told her “you had me at Santa Barbara” - though I’d never been there. The city captured my heart, but connecting with author friends and readers from around the country filled it in ways I can’t even begin to articulate. Thank you to dear friends old and new that I connected with this weekend. So grateful to Leslie and the amazing volunteers that made this weekend happen. I needed this and I’m ready to go back into my writing cave, reminded of all the reasons to climb outside of it once in a while. ☺️❤️📚#authorlife #authors #literaryfestival #writingcommunity #authorssupportingauthors

I bought this calendar in Rome as a souvenir for 22yo daughter, and I’m not sure, but I think it might be the best souvenir gift I’ve ever purchased. 🤔😅🇮🇹 #roma #rome #souvenir
