I used to not be able to sit facing backwards on a train, and now it’s my favorite.

On my way to DC to celebrate this beautiful novel by my friend Margaret Hutton tonight at the great @politicsprose.bsky.social!

Maybe it was way more than seven million? "8% of Americans say they participated in a No Kings protest on October 18." p.s. Older people are really showing up.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan. I never made it out of the House.

Some of us had babies who wouldn’t keep a hat on let alone a costume and this Halloween I just want to say to those parents…I see you. Hang in there.

I’m doing a special book plus extra treats giveaway to celebrate FONSECA’s 2.5 month anniversary! (The timing is because the book opens on Mexico’s Day of the Dead.) So, if you follow me on Instagram, head over there to enter!

This book is funny, astute, real and sexy. I think I had an affair with it? 10/10 no regrets. You should try it.

Favorite part of the empty nest? I can completely ignore Halloween.

👀 Oh wow. Thank you for including, FONSECA!

So happy to have an excerpt from FONSECA (with a brief intro about how I first read #penelopefitzgerald) in @oldstermag.bsky.social.

Simon Haisell, preparing for his slow read of #penelopefitzgerald's The Blue Flower (find him on Substack @footnotesandtangents), might be the most ideal reader of Fonseca yet.

It must be a good sign.

I was thrilled to talk with Beth Golay of @npr.org’s “Marginalia” about FONSECA. #penelopefitzgerald #novel #historicalfiction #mexico

I love fall and I love October but I do not love “spooky season.”

Made a pilgrimage to @thelynxbooks.bsky.social to be in conversation with @legroff.bsky.social about Fonseca and it was all amazing! She’s a #penelopefitzgerald fan!

Dawn Powell will be published in the UK for the first time in decades starting next June, when Pushkin Press (which acquired her publisher Steerforth Press) publishes her 1942 novel A Time to be Born.
