VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR DATES: It will be a new experience to do a virtual book tour, and while I’m sad to miss seeing some of you in person, I’m excited to get to share this experience with so many of you who live far and wide. And I cannot wait to talk with @justjuliawhelan, @juliaclaibornej, and @thereseannefowler. I have missed them all so much. 💗 Hope you’ll tune in to one — or even all three.
