In Four Days: Our Narrow Hiding Places
Some exciting updates!
Hey everyone! I promise to have a real newsletter post for you soon, but in the meantime here are some quick announcements/updates:
Our Narrow Hiding Places (my new novel from Ecco/HarperCollins) will be in stores everywhere in just five short days - Tuesday 8/13. If you still want to preorder, you can get it sent right to your door by calling your local independent bookseller or going to Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon.com!
On Saturday, 8/10, tune into CBS Saturday Mornings with Jeff Glor at 7:50AM to see a special segment on the novel and an interview with me and my Oma about the real story behind the book.
On Sunday, 8/11, you can catch me on NPR’s All Things Considered talking with guest host Pien Huang about writing a magical book full of eels and trauma and resilience.
On Tuesday, 8/13, I’ll be at Greenlight Books in Brooklyn with writer Jason Diamond (RSVP if you’re coming!) to officially launch the book and kick off my events schedule — I’ll also be in New Hampshire, Portland (Maine), Princeton, Chappaqua, and a bunch of other cool spots over the next several weeks. You can get more/up-to-date information here.
And last but not least, the deadline is TODAY to apply to join my Advanced Revision Strategies class in the Fall, offered through 92NY but there is still some room - apply here!
My sincere thanks to everyone who helped in this endeavor over the last many, many years. Writing is, on the one hand, a very solitary thing, and yet it really can't be done well without loads of other people… friends, family, publishing pros, neighbors, booksellers, librarians, and even total strangers. I'll have more to say about that in the coming weeks, but for now, my sincerest thank you!
Got my copy the other day who boo!
