Thank you to all the students, alumnae, and their families, who made the trip to @lauraltonhall1905 this week for my author talk! Thank you to LH Head of School, Beth Coyne, and Nicole Benson in partnership with @rjjulia bookstore for organizing the event. And special thanks to Mrs. Gallagher for being my in conversation partner.
It was wonderful to see former teachers and answer questions from the audience about my writing journey. I so enjoyed connecting with readers and other Lauralton Ladies. I am truly humble to be part of such a community.
Listen to my Write-Minded podcast interview with Grant and Brooke about my NaNoWriMo experience and how it lead to a partial draft of The Davenports!
Join me Saturday, June 10th!
I had a wonderful time with the author of #Nightbirds, Kate J. Armstrong, on her podcast, The Exploress, about the strong women in #TheDavenports and the research that brought them to life!
I wanted THE DAVENPORTS to hold up examples of representation I wish I’d had as a teen, to focus on four young Black women discovering the courage to pursue their dreams—and loves—at a time when Jim Crow, fear, and distrust threatened both. And really, who doesn’t adore a grand estate, a glamorous ball, and a juicy romance or four?
I had a wonderful chat with Jennifer Siron and Chandra Jeffrey of the Los Angeles Public Library about THE DAVENPORTS, my favorite snacks, and Grey’s Anatomy. Plus, find out where I’d hide an elephant! Click the link to watch the full interview on their YouTube channel.
The Davenports is available as an audiobook voiced by the lovely and talented Joniece Abbot-Pratt!
You can order here!
I am so happy to share that #TheDavenports has made the Indie Best Sellers List! 😆 Thank you @Indiebound & @penguinteen for your support! This story of four strong young Black women would not have reached so many readers without Indie booksellers! Thank you so much! 💛
