Spent the afternoon @gettymuseum , which I highly recommend if you’re in Los Angeles (it’s free!). ♥️ Paintings like Jan Steen’s ‘The Drawing Lesson’ (last pic) are really helpful for book research because they show so much detail. The foot hanging from the shelf, the violin (viola?) in the background, the female student’s fancy, pointed shoe. And is that a lute in the foreground? If you know, let me know. 😊 Anyway, it’s a fantastic museum; hope you get a chance to see it!

Rebecca, Laura, and I are really looking forward to our cocktail hour on September 30 (and here are some of the recipes we’ve been testing out)! 😊🍸🍺 If you’re a bookseller and would like to join us, please read on. I’ve copied the original post below. Hope you can make it; we’d love to see you there! ♥️

Hello booksellers! I’m planning an exciting VIRTUAL COCKTAIL (OR MOCKTAIL!) HOUR with @beccajross and @lauraeweymouth! 🍸♥️🍸

We’ll be chatting all about A RUSH OF WINGS (Laura’s book, out November 2), DREAMS LIE BENEATH (Rebecca’s book, out November 2) and YEAR OF THE REAPER (my book, out on November 9).

We would love for you to join us to learn more exclusive, behind-the-scenes info via Zoom on Thursday, September 30th at 6:30pm. Bring your drinks and your questions! If you’re a bookseller and interested in joining, please send us an e-mail at booksellercocktailhour (at) gmail.com. And help us spread the news if you think another bookseller friend or two would be interested!

Thank you so much, and we hope to see you there!

Only two months to go!! ⭐️🖤⭐️ Recently, I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook auditions for YEAR OF THE REAPER and selecting a narrator. I think you’ll be happy with our choice! I also had a chance to give a thumbs up to the UK cover (beautiful and perfect for the story, yet completely different from the US version). AND I learned that we have another book signing project coming our way, so I will once again be buying Sharpies in bulk. 🖤

So many good things happening for this book! I would really like to thank everyone who has taken the time to read the e-book version of this story. When I found out Reaper would not have printed ARCs, it flattened me, because I knew it meant many reviewers would skip it. E-books can be hard on the eyes. And when reviewers pass on a book, it usually means doom.

But I was wrong. The reviews are coming in (from readers new to my stories, from readers who have cheered me on from the beginning, and from the trade journals). And I just wanted to say thank you. I am, as always, grateful for the support. 🖤

YEAR OF THE REAPER will be on bookshelves November 9th.

Final clip vs. practice clip. Catching a book gracefully is not easy! If you’d like to see the full video of Fall books and authors, check out CaitsBooks on TikTok (link in bio). And yes, I did use a stunt double book for practice. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Thank you, @caitsbooks, for the invite! ♥️
