Thanks to @lylelovett.bsky.social and the large band for putting on such a beautiful, symphonic show at Mountain Winery. That was me in the fourth row center seat in the LL hat! So glad to finally get one after all these years.

I'm trying not to get too excited but I do seem to have fourth row seats to see @lylelovett.bsky.social‬ next week at Mountain Winery. Best seats in 20+ years (it might be 30!)

Exciting news! Join me in Montclair for a book party to celebrate my upcoming quirky comedy, *Your Actual Life May Vary. Expect sweets and surprises! @sfwp.bsky.social

Please enjoy a few minutes with great short story writer Lori Ostlund talking about her new collection, Are You Happy, in my article for Bay City Books. It's a thrill to get to interview my writing idols. lindalattelessons.wordpress.com?p=463 @sfwp.bsky.social

I'm thrilled to learn that CLMP has added *Your Actual Life May Vary to their Reading List for Wome's History Month. And the book doesn't come out till August! But you can preorder. Thanks, @clmporg.bsky.social @sfwp.bsky.social www.clmp.org/news/a-readi...

Hi friends: My novel comes out in August and I need help promoting it. Would anyone like to take a copy to your favorite indie bookshop and ask if they'd consider recommending it on the Indie Next List? You can post here or private message, and thank you in advance. #SFWP

I just got a remarkable blurb from the Very Nice author Marcy Dermansky for my dark comedy, *Your Actual Life May Vary, coming from #SFWP next summer. She likes it! And she knows her dark humor. Epubs of Your Actual Life are available on Edelweiss. You can read it and say something very nice, too!

I got a new cover and so did my upcoming book (SFWP in August 2025). It might be a happy new year after all!

It's official! Coming from @sfwp.bsky.social Santa Fe Writers Project next summer! Preorder *YOUR ACTUAL LIFE MAY VARY today! buff.ly/4iDiPFZ @IPGbooknews @SusanSchulman pic.x.com/4KhubyDAbP
