Hello, all!

Since the Early Show has been moved, I got to sleep in till a whopping 4:30 a.m., which felt DIVINE. Of course, in classic tour fashion, moving the show means I'll be flying back to NY after I've left for another city to do it a different day, which will entail a very early morning indeed, which will not feel divine. So it goes. I am cultivating some very impressive circles under my eyes, I have to say.

A shout-out to all the kind people who took the time to listen to the Diane Rehm show. I so enjoyed hearing your questions and comments, and I appreciate you tuning it.

So it's pub date. Weird, weird, weird, exciting and weird. I've got a couple of interviews today, then a pre-reading hangout with my dear friends who are coming to NY for the reading, and then the reading itself. I can't wait to kick it all off, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing all of you who'll be there tonight--as well as all of you who'll be at the readings across the country as I move west.

All my thanks to all you folks who have supported my career over the years; and thanks to the newbies just now beginning to read my books. I'll do my best to write you some good ones.

Big cheers,
Marya
