Book News
I’m so excited to share that ZARA’S RULES FOR FINDING HIDDEN TREASURE releases in less than two weeks, on Oct 18th. This is a story about Zara’s side hustle to earn money for a new bike that goes sideways, the objects we treasure and why, and what really matters. Marie Kondo is mentioned, there’s a bar mitzvah celebration, an anniversary party, and more! Although it’s lighthearted and humorous, this book is deeply personal to me, and draws heavily from my own life and experiences. Kids always ask me “what is your favorite book that you wrote?” and until now, I’ve never had a good answer. But now I can honestly answer that it’s this book—and I truly hope you will read it and treasure it as much as I do!
A Special Request
I would appreciate it SO MUCH if you could do any (or all!) of the following:
- Pre-order the book for yourself, a kid, a teacher, a library, or a friend. Pre-orders are a HUGE way to support authors and mean a great deal.
- Post an on-line review on Goodreads and Amazon (the latter once the book is on sale). These help enormously with visibility, and we all know the power of algorithms!
- Share the book on social media (photos of adorable readers and pets are always appreciated!)
- Request the book at your local library, school, or local bookseller
- Share this newsletter with someone who might be interested!
- Celebrate my book birthday with me (see below)!
You’re Invited
For my local friends, I would absolutely love for you to join me for my Book Birthday Celebration with the Takoma Park Maryland Library on October 18 at 7pm. The event will be held at the Takoma Park Community Center Auditorium on Maple Avenue and will include a short reading, some embarrassing childhood photos of me, and other goodies, along with a book sale and signing thanks to our friends at Politics & Prose. Please register here to reserve a spot and bring a friend!
As always, I remain grateful for your love and support and send you all my best wishes!
