There’s only SIX WEEKS until my new novel, The People We Keep, is published by Gallery Books!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who is preordering my book! I’ll have some fun things for readers in the coming weeks, but I wanted to start with something special for writers.

I’m offering a free virtual workshop for ten writers on Thursday, July 22nd at 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific. We’ll be discussing character development and techniques you can use to get to know your imaginary manuscript friends.

This workshop is great for any level of writer, anyone who wants to start writing, or any reader who is curious to learn more about how characters are made.

To throw your hat in the ring, pre-order a copy of The People We Keep from your favorite bookstore (hardcover, e-book, audiobook, and Book of the Month orders all count toward entry) and email the receipt to info(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)allielarkinwrites.com by midnight PST on July 5th. (You’ll have to be able to attend the workshop via Zoom at the scheduled date and time). I will pick ten workshop attendees using a random number generator. If you’re not chosen for the workshop, I’ll roll your entry into the next round of fun I have planned!

Thank you so much for all of your support. The friendship of other readers and writers is what kept me fighting for this book over the years. You mean the world to me.
