The president isn't the only one who appears to be money laundering. Saw this at our public library--someone had paid a fine with bills their cat had peed on--so a librarian washed them. #Library

Today is the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Factory Fire--146 workers died. The fire escape was 18" wide and collapsed. Workers were forced to leave single file through one door; the other door was locked. All to prevent annual theft the owner calculated at $8-15. #History

The Literary Ladies book club invited me to attend a hockey romance night with them. Had a blast! The game came down to the final seconds, I signed 35 copies of HEARTS ON THIN ICE, and hung out with the coolest readers. #Books
I have a book on the Alamo coming out this fall. My editor recently visited San Antonio and got this for me because she thought the bottom was hysterical. It's a good sign when your editor laughs at the idea of you being pure, responsible, and stable, right? #Writing
Memorial for #AlexPretti in a small town in the UP. The side you can't see was nurses in caps. A friend said it was hard to hear when the log trucks went by--but the truckers honked. When you've lost Yooper truckers... (Photo by Julia Berglund)
Got the first copy of THE DECLARATION DECODED today! Out this spring.
Proud to announce I won the FIFA Peace (of Cake) Prize! It's totally a real thing and means I'm very special.
Had a great time at the Boston Book Festival! Fun panel with Erin Entrada Kelly. Hadn't been to the BPL before--what a fantastic interior courtyard. #WriterSky
