The Real Liriodendron

I’ve enjoyed meeting readers through various interviews and book events these past two weeks. Having the opportunity to discuss NEWPORT is a real perk.

There are only two weeks before Newport‘s official publication date, so please excuse me if this post is a little scattered and self-indulgent.
