Having my book on a shelf with @legroth.bsky.social, Amor Towles, @emmastraub.bsky.social, and Laura Pritchett - definitely something to be grateful for leading up to Thanksgiving!! #authorgoals #supportlocalbookstores

Not sure how the algorithms work here :) I’m a writer, narrative nonfiction performer, and the author of two award-winning novels, Blurred Fates and The Other Side of Nothing. I am also Director of Programming for the San Diego Writers Festival (so you may see posts about that too!) #books #fiction

Starting the day with advice from my mother:
1. Practice empathy and random acts of kindness (compliments and smiles are free and easy to give away, and identifying something to compliment someone about makes you look for the good)
2. Listen, really listen
3. Read
4. Begin from a place of grace
