In London? DON'T MISS THIS!
Dear Ones —
If any of you are lucky enough to be in London right now, please go see this exhibit of my friend Anne Connell's extraordinary paintings at Stephen Ongpin Fine Art.
Anne is a magnificent artist — a true master of the exquisite. I am a longtime collector (in fact, I've already snagged one of these pieces on display now) and I can't recommend strongly enough taking an afternoon off to go tumble into her world.
Here is more on Anne's work:

Some of you may remember this one!

Almost every night on book tour this year, I ended up talking about this subject with the audience. My audiences are pretty much composed entirely of women (though I love you, too, my emotionally-secure men who dare to come to my events!) and invariably there would be a woman in the crowd who would

The UK paperback of THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS!
Dear Ones!
My British publisher (the great Bloomsbury) just sent me this image. This will be the new paperback cover of SOAT. Super cool! Alma in the palms and tropics!
You'll be seeing lots of new cover designs for the paperback editions of the book, which will start coming out from all my international publishers this summer — just in time to bring your novel to the beach! (The Americans will also be publishing a paperback, with a fresh cover, around the same time.)
Those of you in the UK will be getting THIS lovely baby on July 3. (Or on 3 July, if you want to get all British about it.)
More to come, as the adventure continues!
For now, you can still purchase the grand, elegant hardcover right here:

Portrait of the authors…with their portraits!
THANK YOU, MAY!
Regular followers of this page are probably familiar with sweet, funny, clever, delightful May Zhong — my absolutely favorite 15 year-old El Salvadoran avid reader/future author/budding artist.
May is a regular on this page — a bright point of light every day.
She made these drawings of me and my friend Rayya Elias (author of HARLEY LOCO) and sent them in the mail.
WE LOVE THEM.
So we just had to do the double portrait selfie, for posterity, and for evidence that this fantastic gift had arrived safely.
Bless you, May! You really captured us, baby.
Rock on!
