Southern-Fried Woolf is HERE!! If you want to buy a print copy, I recommend this bookshop.org link for the best price. (I’m all about that.) Here’s the Kindle version.

Happy Book Birthday (Tomorrow) to Southern-Fried Woolf

The other day I stared out of the kitchen window and allowed myself to celebrate finishing this novel. I allowed the pride of creation to fill my eyes, acknowledged the bravery of sharing something that is so precious to me. This novel has been the most difficult thing I have written so far. Those IContinue reading “Happy Book Birthday (Tomorrow) to Southern-Fried Woolf”

Why Did I Write Southern-Fried Woolf?

Only ten days now until my second novel, Southern-Fried Woolf, comes out! I’m so excited, and yet as I said on a book marketing call today, “I’m so f*cking tired.” Though it elicited laughter, I meant it. (P.S.

I’m not at all sure I can add anything to it. Our Autumn of Woolf has lost its leaves and unintentionally extendedContinue reading “And that’s a Wrap on Orlando!”

Mrs. Dalloway Sighting

Here’s a little holiday time reading about Mrs. Dalloway, via the New York Times Books Update, just for you. I know, I know: we’re reading Orlando. But I thought you’d enjoy this piece by Micheal Cunningham, author of The Hours. Santa brought me an armload of books I’m eager to taste, but I was inContinue reading “Mrs. Dalloway Sighting”

Ordinary Mysteries

This is one of my favorite passages in Lighthouse. As a human, this has always been my goal, to pay attention to the ordinary moments of beauty and to elevate them. At the funeral for my husband’s grandmother a few years ago, the minister came around beforehand and asked for memories to share. I wasContinue reading “Ordinary Mysteries”
