The end of the tour

Turns out you CAN go home again

I am ecstatic to be back home, after about 6 weeks on the road. Between my book tour, some movie-related travel, my brother’s wedding, and a family vacation to visit relatives in Virginia, I crossed the US multiple times on trains, planes, and automobiles, and all I can say is…I love my bed. Here are some of my favorite photos from all my adventures:

Book launch with the incredible Hank Phillip Ryan. Her new book is out now!

Xochitl Gonzalez and me posing for a photo at our event in Brooklyn. Her new book is out now too!

My agent, Peter Steinberg, my publicist, Brianna Scharfenberg, and some of the amazing crew from UTA <3

Signing books at Barnes & Noble in Ft. Worth

And again at Fountain Bookstore in Richmond, VA

A fabulous event in Richmond with Rachel Beanland, whose latest book is available now!

Leather and tulle in Dallas.

Meeting some amazing fans at The Splendid Sun Books in Rockport, TX!

Amazing event in Corte Madera, CA with Sasha Vasilyuk, whose debut novel comes out next month!

Wonderful night with Grace Talusan in Rhode Island.

And my last book tour event in the Berkshires with Anna Hogeland. She and I will be in convo again at Muse & the Marketplace in May!

I don’t have space to say anything else this month, lol, other than that I’m so incredibly grateful for all the love and support I received throughout my book launch. It’s easy to feel devastated by all the awful things happening in the world, but there is so much goodness in the world, too. And I received more than my share in the last 2 months. Thank you, everyone, for everything.

xoxo,

Elizabeth
