Finished the book tour, celebrated my b-day yesterday, and got a great gift this morning: a wonderful review of TIDES OF FIRE from Ray P***n @ bookreporter.com : "To say that TIDES OF FIRE is intense and suspenseful would be a gross understatement. This is thriller/adventure writing of the highest order…an outstanding, high-octane read that will make you look at the world around you from a different point of view."

The HarperCollins Library Marketing team (aka Library Love Fest) was LIVE on Facebook and Crowdcast to talk about upcoming galleys and events. PLUS: we had a special guest author!

Find out more about MOTHER-DAUGHTER MURDER NIGHT by Nina Simon (on sale 9/5/23):
The Maid meets The Last Thing He Told Me in this fun, fresh, and twisty debut whodunnit about a grandmother-mother-daughter trio who come together as amateur sleuths to solve a murder in their coastal California town.

People are LOVING the read:

“Three women bond while investigating a homicide in Simon’s spirited debut...Simon stocks her layered plot with plausibly motivated suspects and convincing red herrings, but it’s her indomitable female characters and their nuanced relationships that give this mystery its spark. Readers will be delighted.” —Publishers Weekly

Hi, librarians! Lainey here.

I hope everyone takes some time to watch this interview I did with Graham Norton for the virtual portion of the American Library Association conference in June. We spoke about Graham's new book, FOREVER HOME, and his writing career in general. It's such a lovely read and it will stay with you for a while. There's a sneaky mystery and characters who are grieving, taking on a new stages in their lives, and learning to forgive. I hope you get the egalley and consider it for LibraryReads. Votes are due August 1st.
