My episode of @firstdraftpod is live!! I was so excited to speak with the brilliant @sarahenni!!

First Draft is one of the first writerly podcasts I ever listened to and I’ve learned so much from Sarah’s thoughtful interviews with creatives.

It was such a pleasure to speak with her about my process and lessons I’ve learned and the story behind the story of Hollow Fires. I hope you’ll love it!

And that’s a wrap!!

Thank you to my beloved indie @57thstreetbooks for hosting me for the final event of the #hollowfires 🔥 tour!!

Big ❤️ to brilliant conversation partner @rileyredgate (buy Alone Out Here immediately—it’s so good!)

Special shout out to my dear friends @gloriacchao @recitrachel @mizzlizziecooke who turned out. And giant hugs to @brownbookworm who is the biggest sneak ever and completely showed up out of the blue at my event. She told me she was leaving Chicago before I arrived home—after her Friday event @andersonsbookshop. She even texted me saying she was sorry she was going to miss me. THEN LOOK WHAT SHE DID. I was screaming. It’s been 2+ years since we’ve seen each other! What a perfect and joyful way to end this tour where I got to see friends and meet readers, again.

Truly, I am such a lucky writer & human.

Thank you, Atlanta! Thank you @littleshopofstories for such a warm welcome and lovely evening!

Big ❤️ to all these beautiful humans I get to call friends! @markdoesstuff is an absolute dream of a conversation partner and it made me so happy to see these wonderful humans and writers after too long apart. The #hollowfires tour has reminded me of how truly lucky I am to write, to meet readers, to count so many incredible people as friends.

Next stop, Chicago! The final event of the HOLLOW FIRES tour is in my hometown TODAY at 2pm @57thstreetbooks with the delightful @rileyredgate! 57th Street Books is an indie I’ve been going to since 1989(!!) and I love wrapping up my tour at home. ❤️❤️

Thank you so much to the amazing folks @lindentreereads for such a delightful #HollowFires event last night against the backdrop of a setting California sun & a farmers market bursting with color.

Big ❤️ to the brilliant @abigailhingwen for such a thoughtful, fun conversation. I hope we get to do a hundred more events together.

There was such a great crowd with teen writers (!) and author friends!! Truly the camaraderie & friendship of other authors I’ve met along the way is something I cherish so much. The conversation and company was so inspiring and fulfilling.

Next stop, Atlanta!!
