Hello Everyone!
OK, this is a just-for-fun and super-low-stakes activity, but can you all do me a favor this weekend?
Can you click on this link, take a look at these three photos, and vote on which one you like best, for my author photo for "The Signature of All Things"?
I can't decide between then, and now that I know you're all such good and enthusiastic choosers (THANK YOU, BOOK COVER-PICKERS!) I would rather put this decision in your hands.
One photo you may recognize as my user photo on this Facebook page, but I can't figure out if it works for the book…thus, I'll leave that choice to you.
(And PLEASE don't say "None of the above" this time, or I seriously might cry!)
Sunday night, I'll reveal the winning photo!
Bless your patient and helpful hearts,
Liz
ps —All these portraits were taken, by the way, by an absolutely lovely young woman named Jennifer Schatten. Should you ever need pictures taken by a sweet person, her website is: www.schattenstudios.com

I spent a day this week at The Woodlands Cemetery and Mansion in West Philadelphia…anyone every been there? It's an extraordinary place. I based many of the details of family estate in "The Signature of All Things" on this property. Definitely worth a visit, if you love strange old houses and semi-haunted landscapes!

We loved spending the day with you yesterday! Cannot wait to see the film, and so excited to read about The Woodlands-inspired setting in "The Signature of All Things" when it's released in October!

GREAT NEWS!
Good morning everyone —
I just got the first review for my new book, "The Signature of All Things"…and it's a rave!
The review came from the American book review magazine Kirkus, who always have the first word on new books. I'm not going to link you to the entire review here because it is ABSOLUTELY FULL of spoilers! Like, nearly every sentence has a spoiler. If you read this review, you will know the entire plot of the book, and I simply cannot in good conscience do that to any of my readers. So I will simply tell you that Kirkus loved the novel, and I will offer these little excerpts from the review, which do not spoil anything, but which make me feel absolutely delighted:
"A sweeping saga…superb…writing seems lifted from pages written two centuries past…a brilliant exercise in intellect and imagination."
HOLY COW.
I am so damn happy. You can never get too calloused (or too confident!) in this field to get over the joy of a wonderful review — especially the first one.
Thanks for listening everyone…and now I REALLY can't wait for the book to come out.
Onward,
Liz

Everything about this picture is so great. I especially love that you can't really tell at first if this dear creature is a small dog, a giant rabbit, or baby kangaroo!

Eat, pray …sleep?! 😀
