Vera has finished the month as the best reviewed fiction of July 2025 (joined by the amazing Ed Park). I have had such a great time touring and meeting all of you. In the fall catch me in Chicago, LA, SF, Seattle, Toronto and many other places!!!!

I have so many expressions. Is there a drug that could fix that?
