Book Tour!!!!

May 31, 2010 Filed Under: STAY

Well, STAY will be on the shelves ONE WEEK FROM THIS THURSDAY!!! And I plan to go to visit my bookseller buddies on June 10th to buy a copy of STAY, even though I have a copy (because how could I not?). And yes, I will probably cry and embarrass myself when I see my book on the shelf (because how could I not?).

One week from Friday (June 11th) is the kick off of my book tour! I’ll be doing events in:
  • Rochester, NY
  • Seattle, WA
  • Holland, MI
  • Denver, CO
  • Hamilton, NY
  • Syracuse, NY
  • Poughkeepsie, NY
Check out the events page on the website for full event details! I’m so excited, and I hope I’ll get to see you while I’m traveling around this summer! What is a book tour if not a wonderful way to finally meet blog friends in person!
Friday was a truly incredible day. I got an e-mail with the subject line “ALLIE — BUY A COPY OF PEOPLE MAG!!!!!”
STAY made the book section of People Magazine!!!
So, of course, I ran out to Wegmans and bought a handful of copies. And I then sat in my car and e-mailed pictures of it to J.
Then I remembered that we were out of milk and had nothing for lunch, so I had to go back in. But I have to say, running back in for milk didn’t dampen the excitement of seeing Argo & the STAY cover in People Magazine or reading that People called STAY a feel-good debut! Not even a little bit.

    This is so wonderfully exciting. I tried to stop by oblong to see if they had it in stock yesterday, but they weren’t open yet.

    Hope to get my copy before the big Poughkeepsie signing!

    Holy cow!!! Gurl, this is amazing and it’s going to get even more press when everyone starts reading it.

    Um, I don’t see NYC on your tour list. A simple oversight, I’m sure.

    That’s awesome!!! I’m going to go claim my copy tomorrow, and I’m going to read the whole thing as fast as possible!! Then I’m going to give it to my mom to read while she’s in town next week. Can’t wait!

    Query Contest

    Congratulations on your much deserved success! I loved that your query actually described what the story was about – instead of vague words like “fate,” “destiny,” and such. I only hope that I could craft such a great elevator pitch someday.

Internationally bestselling author of STAY, WHY CAN'T I BE YOU and SWIMMING FOR SUNLIGHT. THE PEOPLE WE KEEP coming from @gallerybooks on 8/3/2021

A few days ago, I took this photo of turkeys while A few days ago, I took this photo of turkeys while I was out on a run, marveling at how wild animals do not seem to mind when they see me. Once, I almost bumped into a deer, the way a couple might meet-cute in a rom com. We just didn’t see each other. I’ve always thought it was a fun little quirk. Not even bunnies are afraid of me. But this afternoon on my run, I came up over a hill and was suddenly within fifteen feet of a wild boar. Thankfully, a year or two ago I got curious about the big traps that show up trailside around the bay, looked them up and learned about how fast, ruthlessly aggressive, and unpredictable a wild boar can be. Otherwise, I might have (stupidly) thought I was in the middle of another one of my Snow White moments and been all “Hello there, Mr. Pig! Look at you!” believing that I could quietly observe in wonder. Instead, I knew this was a bad situation. The boar grunted and moved to the center of the trail. It felt very ‘You shall not pass!’ But I did not want to pass. I wanted to get away. I backed slowly for a few moments and then turned and ran faster than I ever have in my whole life. I’ve since learned that there’s no way that boar chased me, because there’s no chance of outrunning a boar (climb a tree if you can). But I know that boar saw me and also wasn’t happy about the surprise, and I had a moment, racing back over the hills I’d just run — not daring to look behind me more than once or twice in fear I’d lose my footing — when I truly did not know what would happen. I’ve been in scary situations, but they were a different kind of scary. I don’t think I’ve ever flat out run for my life before, but that’s truly what I thought I was doing. Right now I am still full of adrenaline and also exhausted and so so thankful to be okay.
