I am A WOMAN IN PINK, “the focal point in a grim snapshot, a woman alone at a bar. Only now I was even more tragic than at home, because now, my tragedy was on display.” #awomaninpink#debutnovel#literaryfiction#regalhousepublishing#hermannsotg
Leaving @whistlersdaughterbooks tonight, I had to grab a couple new books. My TBR shelf is becoming a TBR mountain. I have a problem.
A HUGE thank you to @whistlersdaughterbooks for hosting @laurahulthenthomas and me tonight! Your shop is lovely, and you made us feel so welcome. ❤️

A bit about my frustrating characters in A WOMAN IN PINK.
Tomorrow at 6pm, I’ll be at @whistlersdaughterbooks with friend and @regal_house_publishing press mate @laurahulthenthomas . It’s my LAST event on the books — Laura’s too! — and I can hardly believe we’re here. I have some feelings about this!
Please join us in Ferndale. Please forgive if the hugging gets a bit excessive.

Sharing a vignette from a project in progress:
I wanted a body to stand over and peer at, scalpel flashing. A dissection, gruesome lessons in the origin of disease. Maybe me, maybe you. Maybe doom entwined in its own DNA.
I wanted a funeral with rituals and hymns. The solemnity of names and dates etched in stone. A bench for contemplation. A place to put the flowers.
I wanted a courtroom, chilly and imposing. The theater of closing arguments and a banging gavel. Instead, I got a Zoom call, the collapse of eleven years into seven minutes. Then – nothing. I called you when it ended, a reflex. My call went straight to voicemail.
Wow, if you live in Royal Oak, Michigan, you hit the reader jackpot in your local indie bookstore, @sidetrackbookshop ! My good friend and @regal_house_publishing press mate @meganschik and I felt the love at Sidetrack last night. Terrific audience of whipsmart readers and a welcoming and fun vibe from the staff and owners made this event special. Thanks to all who came out and again thank you to @lindaksienkiewicz for the photo! #sidetrackbookshop #shopindie #themeaningoffear #awomaninpink #laurahulthenthomas
That was so fun. Thank you to the lovely people who came out, @sidetrackbookshop for hosting us, and @laurahulthenthomas for being a great partner! It’s a good thing Sidetrack keeps it moving. I’d talk Laura to death otherwise. ❤️
If you can join @laurahulthenthomas and me for our book event at @sidetrackbookshop tomorrow night: great!!! We can't wait to see you. Please swing by the store website to grab a ticket.
