Hey, all! This year’s book tour will be COMPLETELY in the Midwest! That’s because I’ll be taking a mid-May authors’ trip overseas this year — so my publisher is kindly keeping me closer to home (and keeping my jet lag at bay…I hope).

I’ll be presenting and signing at schools in the cities above as well as in St. Louis, MO (school visits only). For registration and/or details about the public events, go to these links (not all are up yet) :

May 1: Joseph-Beth Booksellers (Cincinnati, OH)

May 3: Barnes & Noble, Livonia (Northville, MI)

May 22: Cuyahoga County Public Library (Bay Village, OH)

May 24: Louisville Public Library (Louisville, KY)

May 25: Red Balloon Bookshop (St. Paul, MN)

In the meantime, you can pre-order SURPRISINLY SARAH here!

It’s happening — I’m leaving the house! I hope you will, too, if only to join me at some of these fun events. See below for my tour schedule (some virtual ones may be added soon) and for the links to register.

Ohio dwellers and beyond! Here are TWO upcoming events I hope you’ll join me for.

Clevelanders: Join me on April 5 for the book launch of talented author Justin A Reynold’s book, IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AND I’M IN MY BATHING SUIT! It’s ridiculously funny, smartly written, and that title is gold. Details here.

Also, I’ll be at the Delaware County Library on April 9 for a fun and lively book talk. I’ll even bring up volunteers to draw with me! To join me (in-person or virtually), register here.
