Gobsmacked that my book Olive Days is a finalist for a prize that I adore, and to be in such remarkable company. Art is an antidote to evil. #books #bookprizes @latimes.com

Whoa. The brilliant Susan Straight blurbed my book Olive Days, and now I won the same new writer award she once won. Pinch me! Grateful to GLCA and the judges! www.glca.org/faculty/new-...

Thank you so much from this debut novelist! Olive Days is available everywhere books are sold and on NPR Marion Winik said "I haven't read a book in a long time that made my jaw drop like Olive Days..." www.elishevaemerson.com/olivedays

Just walked past my copy of Molly's Pilgrim, which has been on the hearth for weeks, and collapsed in sobs. So, Cabinet nominations sinking in.
