Welcome to Litsy!

A day late on this one for #riotgrams, but how could I resist a call for #threewordtitles when both of my novels qualify? #bookstagram #bookriot #historicalfiction #themagicianslie #girlindisguise #greermacallister #authorsofinstagram

Today's #independentseveryday pick is Union Ave Books in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Flossie & her team do an amazing job bringing books & readers together. I haven't been able to get there on the #girlindisguise #booktour yet, but I'll be nearby next Thursday (7/6) at the Kingston Public Library in Kingston, TN at 7pm. Hope to see some East Tennessee readers there! #bookstore #bookstagram #bookstorelove #getindie #litsyloveslibraries

#independentseveryday & #tbt to the #girlindisguise #booktour! It's hard to imagine a warmer welcome than the one I get every time I go to Dragonfly Books in Decorah, Iowa. Plus more Kates per capita -- Kate Scott & Kate Rattenborg are pictured here. A northeastern Iowa gem. (And if you visit overnight, stay at the luxe little Dug Road Inn just a few blocks away.) #bookstore #bookstorelove #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #decorah #getindie

Another day, another #independentseveryday! I don't have a picture of the bookstore itself, but Chapter 2 Books in Hudson, WI put on one of my favorite events on the #girlindisguise #booktour - talking with Christina Baker Kline about A PIECE OF THE WORLD. #booksrule #bookstagram #bookstorelove #indiebound #wisconsin #authorsofinstagram #getindie

My tribe. @theladygreer hanging out with me at @FountainBookstore hosted by the fabulous Kelly. We fielded questions from a very engaged audience and expounded (at perhaps too great length) on the use of real historical events in fiction. Lovely evening! #booktour #richmond #booktalk #histfic #allthebestpeople #girlindisguise

So far I've recommended a lot of #womenshistoryreads, but today's is particularly special: Kate Warne, the first female Pinkerton detective, captured my attention and imagination a few years ago, and my novel about her comes out TODAY. I hope you'll love reading about Kate as much as I loved writing about her. #bookstagram #womenshistory #herstory #girlindisguise #historicalfiction #histfic #civilwar #detectivefiction #katewarne #pinkerton

I love my life. Need me to visit a dozen states on #booktour? Done. Sign 600 bookplates for #girlindisguise pre-orders? Happy to. All I ask is that I get to keep writing books. Also the occasional glass of pinot noir.

Spent some (unglamorous but necessary) time today updating details & links on my Events page for the #girlindisguise spring #booktour. In March alone, I'm visiting MN, WI, LA, AL, GA, DC, VA and MA. Hoping to meet some #littens out there! #getindie

Win an ARC! A new #Litten asked a few days ago how readers get ARCs. Sorry, I can't remember who it was. So, I hope she sees this opportunity. Just look for this at #girlindisguise or @theladygreer and make a comment there by Jan. 31 for a chance to win. (US only) Pass it on! ☺

I only have one ARC left of #girlindisguise, which doesn't hit stores until March, & I want to give it away to one of the #Littens! Comment below by 1/31 to enter the #giveaway. US only. #girlinthetitle
