Friends, The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu is out in the world!
This inter-generational book about a forty-something woman with a cranky ob/gyn mother, a university-bound daughter and strange new physical abilities reflects so many of the things that have preoccupied me in the last couple of years, among them sleeplessness, mother-daughter relationships, family history and third culture, raging hormones and aging. I hope you find something in it that resonates with you.

Feel free to send me shelfies, or photos of Leeann in bookstores or libraries. I will not post your photos without permission, but I do love seeing them and hugging them to my bosom and babbling lovingly over them like a toddler with a stuffed animal.
And as always, if you can’t purchase a copy of Leeann Wu, please consider requesting it at your library. I also appreciate reviews on the platform of your choice. I won’t read them, but I am glad they exist because a) they help potential readers figure out of they’ll like my books; b) above 50 reviews on places like Amazon helps the book’s visibility; and c) hey, you wrote review and you’re cool!
In other news, I’ll be in conversation with Olivia Dade on Saturday, Nov 22 at 1pm CT about Leeann and Olivia’s new book, Second Chance Romance in a chat moderated by our pal, the lovely Emma Barry (Bad Reputation) for Love’s Sweet Arrow. Be sure to get your free tickets.
Toronto and GTA friends, please come out to the Angel Reading Series at The Arts and Letters Club on December 5 at 7pm ET where I’ll one of the writers (Farah Heron’s also gonna be there!!!) reading from their latest work. It’s free and there will be books for signing and sale.
Finally, I’ll be a guest on Molly Fader’s podcast Day Drinking With Authors. Molly is a legend. Her books are sexy and smart and evocative and I’m so honoured to be invited to chat with her. I’ll be sure to post the ep when it’s up!
Thanks and take care!
