It’s been a thrill for me to see readers connect with my deeply flawed and oh-so-unreliable protagonist, Lynda Boyle. Sharing a few of my favorite Goodreads and NetGalley reviews, with gratitude for the book love. 🪩💃❤️ #booksky #lastnightatthedisco @netgalley.bsky.social @regalhouse.bsky.social

Had a blast of a disco brunch at Thunder Road Books this morning. Saw friends and family and my beloved fifth grade teacher. Met new friends and readers! Profoundly grateful for the support and love I’ve felt on this whole trip. Indie bookstores and libraries are the best places in the world. ❤️

Giving the sequins a rest today, then two events this weekend in Philly and Spring Lake, NJ for Last Night at the Disco. Can’t stop the dance!

South Jersey! I’ll be dressed in my disco finery at the Millville Public Library tonight as part of the NJ Authors Series, 6:30 pm. Come for the fun 70s slide show, stay for a discussion of my new novel, LAST NIGHT AT THE DISCO. 🪩 💃🪩

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

It was so much fun chatting about LAST NIGHT AT THE DISCO with my longtime friend @jennablum.bsky.social for A Mighty Blaze. We’ve known each other for close to 25 years! Or as Jenna put it, since we were 12. www.youtube.com/live/iyPTLNZ...
