Happy that Next Generation helps wave the flag for independent publishers and writers everywhere.

This is some of the most fun I’ve ever had: an essay written and inspired by objects hidden in my own library. Wisely, I asked my friend and neighbor Kate Uhry to take the photos. A story on travel, memory and books and how they all come together in a bookmark, for Tin House.

How about 99 Places in France? Or, skip Chapter 25. Here’s the background. In 100 Places in France, I wanted to do some deep travel writing, and my editors at Travelers’ Tales were kind enough to let me.

Delighted that 100 PLACES IN FRANCE EVERY WOMAN SHOULD GO was a finalist in the 2015 Indie Book Awards for the Travel category. They even sent me a certificate, which is pretty.

This is going to be an incredible night, at Book Passage, one of the best bookstores on earth.

My friend Mary Winston Nicklin wrote a lovely and generous piece about 100 Places in France Today – a site every France-loving person should read every day.

These days, the budget is limited for touring or publicity. So I’m a one-person band in the direct promotion of my book that is gradually finding its audience. So it was my good luck and great pleasure to discover France Booktours, run by a dynamo named Emma. Each day, for ten days during my virtual book […]
