How To Talk to an Author* Yes, I'm back, eight days before my next novel goes on sale. How convenient! Look, baby needs new shoes and by "baby," I mean "me." DREAM GIRL -- my 23rd or 24th novel, depending on how one counts such things, my 27th book overall -- will be published in the U.S. on June 22, the UK on July 1. I started it in January 2019, but it was unfinished when the pandemic hit in late winter 2020 and I was grateful that I was forced to focus on it for the first four months of Maryland's stay-at-home advisory. So far, it has garnered three starred reviews in what we call the pre-pubs, some glorious word-of-mouth from early readers and novelist peers, and attracted the attention of CBS This Morning: Saturday, where I am scheduled to be featured on June 19. (I say "scheduled" because feature pieces can be scuttled if something huge happens.)
