Happy Pub Day to WHISPERS IN THE DARK, the U.K. edition of *Nowhere*

So excited to see the Kennans have officially crossed the pond! Many thanks to Embla Books and the team at Jane Rotrosen Agency

Here's hoping my British friends enjoy the book, and remember - don't go into the woods 🇬🇧

One of my favorite things abt doing interviews atm is that everyone asks abt the "diabolical tabby" in my bio.

The cat who was stuck in a shelter for ~2 yrs, came into my home & took over, then survived FIP thanks to $10k, is now becoming a staple of my public persona 😆

Rock on, Connie 🐾

So I guess my backyard is basically the setting for FernGully at this point? This is what “progress” in the WV Panhandle looks like. Used to be a forest 😞😞😞
