The fabulous folks at #bookposse are passing BIRDY around. Can't wait to hear what they think!

My first book was set in Bryant Park in NYC!

Ready for guests. In september its cocktails outside, dinner inside

Aperol, nasturtium, friendship, september

On 9/11 as the sun was setting, an enormous group of New Yorkers spontaneously gathered in Washington Square Park and sang together into the night

Yay for #bookposse supporting BIRDY. Can't wait to hear what you'll think. #readbirdy

In New Orleans. Heading into snowmaggedon 2025. The French quarter is expecting 5 to 8 inches of snow starting tomorrow morning. Airports already closed tomorrow. Restaurants and grocery stores empty. Getting some food now and then hunkering down for 24 hrs.

Slow streetcar due to construction and rain. Still I made it to Mandina's out on Canal #neworleansfood (live oaks and Hancock Whitney bank in photos)
