I’m delighted to get to read from Hard to Love at my local, woman-owned, pet-friendly bookstore! I was introduced to Astoria Bookshop by my wonderful former student Amy DePoy who gave me a gift card as a housewarming present to welcome me to Queens. My sister and I cashed it in on the wonderful choose-your-own-adventure romance novel My Lady’s Choosing, which provided hours of merriment.

I’ll be in conversation with Queens writer Joanna Scutts, author of the fabulous biography The Extra Woman: How Marjorie Hillis Led a Generation of Women to Live Alone and Like It.

Anyway! Come! I’ll bring cake from Cannelle for the total blissful Queens experience!
