Greetings!

I’m just back from my book tour to promote the publication of The Abortionist’s Daughter in paperback (Vintage).  And I truly thank my hosts and everyone who came to my readings, whether at H.W. Schwartz in Mequon/Milwaukee, Borders in Ann Arbor, Third Place Books and Elliott Bay in Seattle, or Changing Hands in Tempe.   I have to say, I had some very tough competition in Seattle, it being solstice and all, so I’m especially grateful to you northwesterners who gave up a few hours of sunlight for me.  But a huge thanks to all of you, basically, wherever you are, for lending me your time, and helping to spread the word about this book.  

One nice thing – The Abortionist’s Daughter made Entertainment Weekly’s Must List in their June 22 issue - Number 3, in fact, of the 10 Things We Love This Week.   Borders has chosen it as one of their July selections, and you can usually find it on their 3-for-2 table.  What a deal!  I hope you’ll see this book as a great selection for your book group, with the social and psychological questions it raises; please refer to my Reader’s Guide if you want some prompts.  And remember – I love to visit book groups, so if you’re in the Denver area, contact me if you’d like to have me as your guest.

Cheers,
