Here’s where I’m headed today for the last day of my Florida tour for THE NEWCOMER. Can’t make it? Call and order a book—I’ll sign and personalize! #buymybookdammit #thenewcomernovel #booktour #beachreads #summerreads
This ain’t no shaggy dog story. Last night’s signing at The Bookmark in Neptune Beach, for THE NEWCOMER was one for the books. Although it was, literally, a dog and pony show. Yes, a fan did bring her service pony (named Confetti) into the store to get her book signed. And then, I got to visit with Banjo, this gorgeous Briard show dog, whose owner brought him in while she got her book signed. Only in Florida, folks. So great visiting with so many fun fans and Bookmark owner Rona. If you couldn’t make it, no worries. I left lots of signed books. Call or trot on over to get yours. #thehorseyourodeinon #thenewcomernovel #booktour #beachbooks #floridawoman #dogsofinstagram

You can call ahead and have me sign and personalize your book! #buymybookdammit #thenewcomernovel #beachreads #summerbooks
So great to be at @tombolobooks in St. Pete tonight with @launger and to see so many local friends. Tombolo did an amazing job on their first in person event since the pandemic outside on their gorgeous back patio. Huge thanks to the great folks at St. Pete’s own @3daughtersbrewing for offering samples of their local craft beers and ciders. 3 Daughters is mentioned in #thenewcomernovel. Try their flavored #keylimecider3daughters, #wildblueberrycider #doublehookeddipa & #beachblondeale. Get signed copies of my books and Lisa’s at Tombolo Books in downtown St. Pete. #shoplocal #drinklocal #summerbeginswithmka #buymybookdammit
When your book trailer plays on the @target media wall you have little choice but to #bustamove right there in the book aisle. Thanks to @stmartinspress for the retailer love. Go get you a #targetspecialedition copy of #thenewcomernovel with exclusive bonus content! #buymybookdammit
Last night I promised the crowd at my signing at @oxfordexchange in Tampa that if they bought a buttload of books I’d post more cottage porn pix from Coquina Cottage. They did—in spades. So here ya go. It’s #transformationtuesday! My pal @claysniderinteriors found these butt-sprung rattan chairs on the curb and rescued them for me. True story: they were so ratty our contractor at Coquina Cottage put them in our dumpster. Aaaaand I fished them back out again. Our painter, Lamar, sprayed them with a few coats of @sherwinwilliams Salty Dog, then Mr. MKA cut new plywood seats and covered them with this fun rattan-patterned fabric —with a little help from our friend Tacky Jacky. They live here now. #cottageporn #coquinacottagetybee #thenewcomernovel #buymybookdammit #bookblackmail #dumpsterdiva #beachcottagestyle #beachhousestyle #vacationontybee
What a great event last night at the incredible @oxfordexchange in Tampa. It was so great to spend time with @kristinharmel, to meet so many readers and @friendsandfiction fans, and to see the hub of the #friendsandfiction subscription box and merch store. On to St. Pete today for an event with @launger at @tombolobooks.
Had to check out this Florida mom-and-pop motel like The Murmuring Surf in my new novel The Newcomer. I have signings tonight in Tampa at @theoxfordexchg and tomorrow at @tombolobooks in St. Pete. Come see me and #buymybookdammit #thenewcomernovel #beachreads #summerbooks #floridagirl #stmartinspress
