I cannot believe that Cherry Blossoms comes out next month. I have a few launch-related events on the calendar. If you’re in the area, come out and say hi!
Southern Festival of Books ~ October 12-14
I’m heading out to Nashville in a few weeks to experience this festival (and Nashville!) for the first time. It will be baby’s first plane flight, so wish me luck. A couple authors I’m dying to see there: Celeste Ng and Lorrie Moore. I’ll be doing a talk (about Cherry Blossoms and whatever else comes up) on Friday. You can see the full schedule on the website soon. Also, if anyone has any Nashville recommendations (especially baby-friendly ones), I’m all ears.
Laguna Beach Books ~ November 4
My official launch event will be at Laguna Beach Books, my favorite local book store. They hosted me for the launch of People Who Knew Me and it was such a great time. The event starts at 4pm. I will bring wine (red and white). Like last time, my husband will probably pretend to be a casual attendee and ask me questions to make me feel uncomfortable.
Newport Beach Public Library ~ November 17
I’m really excited to be part of the Newport Beach Public Library’s local author lecture series. This will be my first time doing an event here. I was so excited to see myself on the same flyer as Janelle Brown (if you haven’t read her book, you should).
