a cancellation, a reminder and another event!

Unfortunately, my event in Wellesley in March is canceled (there was a family emergency amongst the organizers), but my event on Feb 23rd is still on!  And I have a new one in April.  If you are local, I hope to see you!

The Yarn Podcast

Just in case you missed it, a couple of days ago I posted about an episode I did on The Yarn podcast.  It's been ten years since Robert's death and while so much has changed and happened, there are so many things that have remained solid. One of those things has been my friendship with Alvina Ling, who you might know as Melody from The Year of the Dog. She is also my editor, most recently for When the Sea Turned to Silver--and that book is dedicated to her.  Listen here to find out why:

Two Upcoming Events!

I have a couple of upcoming events! If you are in the area it would be great to see you!

First, I'll be at the Unlikely Story Bookstore in Plainville, MA  on February 23rd at 2 pm. It's pretty much every author's dream to open up their own bookstore, so I'm excited to see what Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid fame!) did! And then dream a little on my own...someday... But in the meantime I hope to see you:
