Appearances

In May 2026, I visited the Treehouse Reading and Arts Center in Clinton, New York, for my first combined book signing and book club discussion. After the signing, I had the pleasure of sitting down with twelve members of The Novel Women Book Club for a rich two-hour conversation about The Sunken Garden. We discussed the characters, plot, moral questions, and larger themes at the heart of the story. Their thoughtful and pointed questions made the two-day event memorable and helped me understand my own novel in new ways. My heartfelt thanks to Joanna Robertson, owner and manager of the Treehouse, and Bebe Smith, my good friend, for organizing it.
