Come get swept away with us on a super special episode of #friendsandfiction next week! We are honored to welcome New York Times bestselling author @ahoffmanwriter, one of the world’s most distinguished novelists who has published more than thirty works of fiction. On the first half of the show @pattichenry will host as we ask Alice about her illustrious career and her latest novel, #thebookofmagic. Just published on October 12th, this is the fourth and final installment in her beloved and acclaimed Practical Magic series. Then @kristinharmel will take the reins for the second half of the show as the Fab Four celebrate the launch of Patti’s #onceuponawardrobe, which hits stores everywhere on October 19th. It’s sure to be a captivating night as we celebrate two enchanting and spellbinding new novels and celebrate the magic of story and the power of imagination. Tune in Wed 10/20 at 7pm ET LIVE on our Facebook Group page and our YouTube channel. See you then!

Rolling into the weekend like… or, well, actually, I’m not going to have a ton of reading time because I’m going to be PACKING! And packing… And packing… Three weeks on the road for the Christmas in Peachtree Bluff tour calls for lots of suitcases—and so many snacks you wouldn’t even believe me.

But I cannot WAIT to see my fave readers and booksellers. If you’re in NC, SC, GA or FL, chances are I’ll be in your area—and fingers and toes crossed I’ll be all over our beautiful country again on my next tour in April!

Plus, I’ll be with my buddies and @friendsandfiction co-hosts @marykayandrews, @kristinharmel and @pattichenry (and our fearless managing director @megwalker1225!) for lots of these events for even more fun! Check out the link in my bio for full tour dates!

Good morning, friends!
Vote for Simba! 🙏🙏🙏
.
Every year my favorite nonprofit @nantucketbookfestival hosts a “Literary Pet Photo Contest” and I always enter my shih tzu, Simba. He despises getting his photo taken. Perhaps it’s because I took so many of him when he was a puppy. He did it for the Nantucket Book Foundation though, on his favorite literary chair.
.
Click link in bio or visit www.gogophotocontest/nantucketbookfestival and vote for Simba. Each vote is a $1 (but you can cast multiple $ votes) and all proceeds benefit the year-round work of the Nantucket Book Foundation. The pet with the most votes wins and gets to be the cover of the calendar. Simba and I and the Nantucket Book Festival would appreciate the voting love. 🙏 🐶📚❤️
