On the topic of moving, would any teachers/librarians or book club organizers be interested in class sets of EELGRASS BOG or BITTERFLY BAY? I have many spare hardcovers of both, and I'd love them to go to a loving home. I'd just ask for some help with shipping costs :) Boosts appreciated!

Ghost book, ghost book! I have a ghost book coming out in April! I still have some ARCs floating about, so if you'd like one, ping me!

It's September, which means The Unexpected Lives of Ordinary Girls comes out this month! I still love the synchronicity of a book inspired by my grandma's life coming out on her birthday.
