Zoje Stage at Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures

Carnegie Library Lecture Hall, before the event

In conversation with Gracie Doyle

MOTHERED had its official book launch on March 16, 2023 at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall as part of Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures Made Local series. This was a milestone event for me and I'm very grateful to Gracie Doyle, Ellie Schaffer, and the whole Thomas & Mercer team who made this possible. And I'm equally grateful to Stephanie Flom and the Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures crew - and our wonderful audience. And last but not least, thank you to White Whale Bookstore for being on hand to sell copies of my books. (If anyone is looking for signed copies of MOTHERED, reach out to White Whale.)

Given the size of the hall, I was a little concerned that no one would show up (ever the optimist, lol). But people showed up - in person and online - and I think it's fair to say that an enjoyable time was had by all!

You can watch the entire conversation here.

MOTHERED in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

This is a slightly unconventional way to share a book review, but the article is behind a paywall so I can't post a link. Fortunately, as I live here in Pittsburgh, I was able to go out and buy a copy of today's Sunday paper. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has done consistently professional reviews of my books, and I'm incredibly grateful for that. 

PUB DAY IS HERE!

It's officially Pub Day for MOTHERED and I'm excited to share some links that went live today!!

First up, my first ever interview with The Big Thrill (the magazine of the International Thriller Writers). I got to answer some legitimately interesting questions - which was, no pun intended, a big thrill for me.

I'm also quite proud of this essay I wrote exploring the usage and implications of the term "Unreliable Narrator." Check out Suspiciously Suspect: Who Is - and Isn't - An Unreliable Narrator?

And look at the March line-up for Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures!! 

EDITED TO ADD: My interview with Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle is now live (the print version goes on sale March 10, 2023). This was the first interview I ever did where I was encouraged to talk about personal things, so I feel like it's something of a milestone. Read the feature article here.
