Wow, @afplct you really know how to@make an author feel special. In Saturday they transformed the library into an MKA Road Trip themed airport terminal complete with all the signage, “baggage claim” for goodies, and games for in-flight entertainment. It was a spectacular event made even better by the special handmade hat gifted to me by a reader. Thank you to my Connecticut readers for coming out and spending such a nice afternoon with me. ...

Thank you Fairhope, Alabama! My friends at @pagepalette never disappoint! They always go above and beyond with their events. The stage was decked out in a #roadtrip theme with old suitcases and a giant portrait frame and lots of fresh greenery. They had three specialty themed cocktails going at their ever lively bar. And the place was packed to the gills with the sweetest readers. They were kicking some fun tunes during the book signing and the signing line may have turned into a bit of a dance party. Thank you to Stacy and her fab team and to all of you who came out to make it such a special night!

Onward to Long Island NY tonight with @sarahmaclean at @thenextchapterli. May the travel gods be ever in my favor! ...

A magical stay in Fairhope with a sold-out ROAD TRIP book signing at the always wonderful @pagepalette, followed by a divine dinner at @littlebirdfairhope. Always love seeing so many sweet fans at P&P. Now? Onwards to Huntington, Long Island where I’ll be in conversation with my New York Times bestselling pal @sarahmaclean. Come see us! #buymybookdammit #roadtripnovel #summerbeginswithmka ...

Had an incredible day yesterday on my #roadtrip book tour. First up was a super lovely luncheon event hosted by fab indie @gramercybooksbexley. Then we shuffled on out to Bargersville IN for a packed house event hosted by @wildgeesebookshop. We may have capped off the day with wicked storms and tornado warnings, but it didn’t put a damper on this ROAD TRIP!

Check my tour schedule and come see me when I’m in a town near you! Thursday I’m in Fairhope AL with @pagepalette, then Huntington long Island on Friday and Avon CT on Saturday to round out week two! With lots more stops behind that!

Cleveland rocks! Thank you @rsblockmtm and the @cuyahogalib team for a great #roadtrip event last night.

Loved spending time with a packed house of readers including some who’ve been coming to my signings since the 1990s, the always fabulous @taylorreadsincle, and lots of @friendsandfiction & @friendsandfictionbookclub faithful. A great dinner and cocktails with Ron & @megwalker1225 was a fun way to cap off the night. And we even snuck in some time at the @rockhall earlier in the day.

A double-header today in Columbus & Indianapolis and then on to St Louis on Wednesday. No rest for the wicked!

Coming to you from my luxury suite at the BWI airport Hilton, so please excuse the lack of makeup and absence of fucks left to give. So much batshittery in this country from this MAGA administration, it’s hard to focus. Except—my readers are mostly women. And our lives, our rights, our wellbeing are under siege from all directions. I want to thank all of you for buying ROAD TRIP, for coming out to my events, and for letting me know you appreciate me using my platform to speak out. But let’s stop with the whispers. Let’s stop being sweet and complacent. Let’s stop putting up with letting corrupt old white dudes making laws for their own benefit. WTAF y’all? #8647 ...

Yesterday at the Delaware beaches was a fabulous day of my #roadtrip book tour—and a gorgeous summer day to boot.

Huge thanks to Zandria and her team at @bethanybeachbooks for a fun daytime in-store meet-and-greet. Those events are always so easy breezy and yet so many readers come in the door and so many books go out the door.

And I bow down as always to the incredible Susan Kehoe at @browseaboutbooks in Rehoboth. She hosted a packed house off-site event at the @lewes.library with sooooo many books.

Both of these stores have loads of signed copies so go see them all summer long when you’re at the beach to get yours!

The tour rolls on! Check my website for book deets, buy links & event info!

☘️Spring Lake NJ☘️ you really showed up and showed out last night! I’m so grateful to the amazing @thesaltybookworm and her incredible team at @thunderroadbooks for such a fabulous event at the @springlaketheatre. It was an especially nice landing after a super rough travel day that included a 4am wakeup, 6am flight, deplaning due to a repair needed on the plane, a five hour delay, a missed stock signing, and lost luggage that had me dress shopping before the event. If you noticed no jewelry or makeup and sneakers on my feet, #dontjudge. Never fear. The bag was retrieved and all is back on track today. This epic #roadtrip rolls on!

Check links in my bio for book details, buy links & event info. Come see me on the road! Stops this upcoming week include Severna Park MD, Cleveland & Bexley OH, Franklin IN, St. Louis, Fairhope, AL & Huntington NY.
