Interview in La'Isha Magazine

Humbled to be interviewed by La'Isha Magazine in Israel. Ronen would have been so thrilled - I've never known anyone with more love for his heritage.

 

When we visited Israel together on our honeymoon, he was bursting at the seams with excitement. I had never been before and he had so much to show me.

 

Remembering him this morning, driving us through the desert; windows open, Hebrew music on the radio and a massive smile on his tanned face.

 

"The Best Things We Read This Year" in Willamette Week

During the last week of the longest year ever in the history of the world; as I placed waffles #79850509577738 and 79850509577739 in the toaster for my dudes' breakfasts:

THIS.

To be in such company! For my writing to be written about so thoughtfully! A massive gift. 

Thank you, Scout Brobst!

 

My Biggest Lesson of 2020

My beautiful friend Gail O’Neill at Arts Atl asked me what my biggest lesson of 2020 was and after wrestling with the question for weeks: duh. Cheers to superhuman Stacy Abrams this year and every year.

Listen to my interview with Lois Reitzes on "City Lights" here

Such a pleasure to chat with her.

Her questions were so thoughtful and as I got emotional answering some of them, she held me up with such grace. What a pro. Thank you, Lois!

Georgia Author of the Year Nominee, That's Me (!!!)

Woke up bleary eyed to the news that I have been nominated as a Georgia Author of the Year and whaaaaat?!?

 

Keep checking the list to make sure I'm not hallucinating. But there we are: Invisible As Air and I under Literary Fiction.

 

Proud and honored to be in such company. Tuesday is looking up.

 

 

 

 

Savannah Book Festival + Book Club Girl's Afternoon Out in Mission Viejo

It's been a whirlwind of a week. The Savannah Book Festival was a true joy - star treatment, girlfriends in tow and the wonderful Jonathan Rabb. Then onto gorgeous Orange County where I got to meet terrific fellow authors and kind readers. Then, Disney with the fam.

Do I feel like I've been run over by a mac truck? Yes. Was it worth it? Also yes.

Thank You Books, Thank You Haddasah of Birmingham, Thank You Thank You Thank You

There are so many reasons why yesterday's reading at Thank You Books was special:
1. 4 members of our "heart family" as Ari has coined it drove and explored the city with us: Sarah Baldauf and Chris Fickes #keepinitbubbly
2. Got to hang with Barcley Roedder Gerndt, Caroline Springfield and Daphne Dunn Williams - friends for years and years who I wish I saw more.
2. Haddasah of Birmingham with Mindy Cohen and Jennifer Cordover sponsored the event and my fellow Jewess love was electric.
3. Kristen Iskandrian, co-owner of the store and beautiful author of Motherest was first introduced to me by 2 of my favorite people of all time Damian Fallon and Kathryn Belgiorno making it a circle of life moment that felt pretty damn good.
Thank you to everyone who came out!
