Support Indie Bookstores with Bookshop.org

One of my father’s most lasting gifts to me was the freedom to browse and buy from our local bookstore—no questions asked. That gift led to a lifetime love of books, reading, and indie bookstores where the person behind the counter was a friend and neighbor. 

To continue to champion indie bookstores everywhere, I’ve added Bookshop.org buy links for my most recent titles. Shop online with them, and you’ll be supporting local bookstores all across the country, guaranteeing that the friend behind the counter is always there waiting to help you choose the perfect read.

Inspiration (and fun) At The Historical Novel Society Conference

A few photographs from the amazing HNSNA conference held this year at the Gaylord in Washington DC’s National Harbor. It was my first time attending, but will definitely not be my last. The weekend started with dinner hosted by my fabulous agent where I got to eat lots of Italian food; drink wine; and chat books, history, and writing with my fellow Lyonesses. And it ended with a book signing seated between two historical heavy-hitters Jennifer Robson and Kate Quinn. Next year–HNSUK in Durham?
