Book Blitz for my friend Therese Walsh’s latest book, The Moon Sisters

One of the things I’ve loved about my journey as a writer is the wonderful friends I’ve made on the way. Therese Walsh is one of those people who I am so grateful to know and love having in my life. Her wonderful book, The Moon Sisters, is set for a March 4th release.

On tour with Prism Book Tours…
A beautiful coming-of-age novel about two sisters on a journey to forgive their troubled mother, with a sheen of almost-magical realism that overlays a story about the love of a family, and especially between sisters…

Mature Coming of Age
Family Drama
 

Therese Walsh’s poignant and mesmerizing novel is a moving tale of family, love, and the power of stories. After their mother’s probable suicide, sisters Olivia and Jazz are figuring out how to move on with their lives. Jazz, logical and forward-thinking, decides to get a new job, but spirited, strong-willed Olivia, who can see sounds, taste words, and smell sights, is determined to travel to the remote setting of their mother’s unfinished novel to say her final goodbyes and lay their mother’s spirit to rest.

Though they see things very differently, Jazz is forced by her sense of duty to help Olivia reach her goal. Bitter and frustrated by the attention heaped on her sunny sister whose world is so unique, Jazz is even more upset when they run into trouble along the way and Olivia latches to a worldly train-hopper. Though Hobbs warns Olivia that he’s a thief who shouldn’t be trusted, he agrees to help with their journey. As they near their destination, the tension builds between the two sisters, each hiding something from the other, and they will finally be forced to face everything between them and decide what is really important.

“Both heartbreaking and hopeful, the Moon sisters’ journey is no quixotic quest, and readers will find themselves completely immersed in their transformative search. This magical, moving tale is not to be missed.”

–Booklist (STARRED REVIEW)

“Luminous…a book packed with invention and rich characterizations.”

First Annual Women’s Fiction Conference

I’m so looking forward to my trip to New York in June! One of the highlights is going to be the first annual Women’s Fiction Mini-conference, the day before the RWA National conference gets underway. I’m on the Women’s Fiction chapter board of directors, and can barely contain my excitement. I’ll be helping our VP-Programs, Maggie Marr, on the day, and can’t wait to meet fellow WF members and non-members alike. To see the full program, and be tempted to come along, you can click on the info on the RWA-WF website.

For starters, we have a two-hour presentation by the fantastic Michael Hauge, a panel of Women’s Fiction Editors and Agents, including Kristin Nelson of Nelson Literary Agency, Meg Ruley at Jane Rotrosen Agency, Andrea Cirillo at Jane Rotrosen Agency, and Shauna Summers Senior Editor at Random House.

If that wasn’t enough, we also have an author panel made up of Megan Crane, Jane Porter, Barbara O’Neal, Therese Walsh, and Marilyn Brant. And to top it off, we are finishing with internationally best-selling author Juliet Marillier.

I just can’t wait!
