So the first thing is that on December 20th I'm having an

After the Rain Book Club. It's going to be very intimate and special and a

conversation with me and it's going to be hosted by Nine Retreat and of course it'll be online and I

cannot wait to participate in this and to see your beautiful faces and to answer your questions about the book

and to just be in community and conversation with you. So the link to join us on December 20th at 1 p.m. Eastern time is in the episode notes.
