I spent the last five days in glorious Southern California, and I came home to the exciting news that Merci Suarez Changes Gearsis # 7 on the New York Times bestseller list. It’s thrilling to see some renewed book love. Thank you to everyone who’s been reading and sharing the novel.
Anyway, I’m too jetlagged to write much, but here are some photos from the road. I love book people, plain and simple…
