My historical fiction novel, That Which Binds Us, has been in the world 10 months now and I'm overjoyed (and surprised!) to still have wonderful opportunities to meet readers, talk with other authors and to discuss All The Things that make this novel a true song of my heart! Friday, May 1st brings a really special one: I'll be at my hometown Indie Bookstore, All Good Books in Columbia, SC, and I'd so love to see you there!

I'll be in conversation with the wonderful Carolyn Newton, an Upstate SC author who has written a glorious historical fiction novel, Songs of the Dead Road, for which I was honored to offer an endorsement. I wrote:

Through the story of piano virtuoso Ján Balik, Carolyn Newton’s Songs of the Dead Road shines a stunning light on the horrors of orphanages and work camps of the Soviet Gulag during and following WWII. Under the harshest conditions, music sustains him; Balik plays and composes as a tool not just of survival, but also tender remembrance. Broad in scope, rich in detail, and filled with heart—Songs of the Dead Road is a triumph.

Following our talk, Carolyn and I will be signing books, and of course All Good Books will have them for sale. (If you happen to already own one of mine and you'd like it signed—bring it!) The event is free and you don't need a reservation. So mark you calendar, grab a friend (or your book club!) and come join us!

PS: If you have friends or family in the Columbia area, I'd be so grateful if you took a moment to forward this email to them. All Good Books has been wonderfully generous to me, and I sure would love to thank them by bringing a crowd. All are welcome. And THANK YOU!
