Bye-bye, East Coast! I'm leaving with a heart full of memories and a belly full of oysters. 😋

Stopped halfway through my 3-hour drive to DC for lunch at a lovely little town in Delaware. (Since this is my last day on the coast, I gotta eat my fill of fresh oysters! 😋)

TODAY'S THE DAY! My last stop of the East Coast Book Tour is Little District Books in Washington, DC, TONIGHT, starting at 6pm. It's a signing + reading + Q&A-style discussion. Tomorrow, I'm back in Minnesota.

LAST DAY OF THE BOOK TOUR: TOMORROW (Nov 16): Little District Books in Washington D.C., 6pm - 8ish Not just a signing, but a reading and Q&A-type discussion. See you there! Given the absolute success of this tour, you can expect me to repeat this in other US states--AFTER the holidays.

They've got me on thr 2nd floor of the Fairless Hills Barnes & Noble, where I'll be until 1pm. Come say hi!

Just had my best day on the book tour to date: sold all but TWO copies of HEART OF IRON! Next signing is tomorrow (Nov 15) at the Fairless Hills B&N, 11am - 1pm. Then I'm off to DC!

I love it when my coffeeshop uses my favorite fandom for drink inspired. 😋 (This is Geek Haven't Coffee, in the Level Up Games of Hastings, MN. They've got Magic cards, DnD books, miniatures, SO many board games, and just a lot of cool stuff.) #atla
