I was lucky enough to get an early preview of the new and gorgeous @omahalibrary’s new Central Library on 72nd and Dodge! After driving by the construction site for well over a year, it was pretty exciting to finally step inside. The architecture is gorgeous—if it doesn’t win awards I’ll be shocked. And it’s really quiet considering the traffic outside! There lots of parking spaces and every single floor is so beautifully designed. Countless comfy chairs, study rooms, and of course books! Check it out, April 19th! #Omahacentrallibrary #omaha #opl

About the book: From the bestselling author of A

About the book:
From the bestselling author of A Beautiful Poison comes another spellbinding historical novel full of intrigue, occult mystery, and unexpected twists.

New York City, 1899. Tillie Pembroke’s sister lies dead, her body drained of blood and with two puncture wounds on her neck. Bram Stoker’s new novel, Dracula, has just been published, and Tillie’s imagination leaps to the impossible: the murderer is a vampire. But it can’t be―can it?

A ravenous reader and researcher, Tillie has something of an addiction to truth, and she won’t rest until she unravels the mystery of her sister’s death. Unfortunately, Tillie’s addicted to more than just truth; to ease the pain from a recent injury, she’s taking more and more laudanum…and some in her immediate circle are happy to keep her well supplied.

Tillie can’t bring herself to believe vampires exist. But with the hysteria surrounding her sister’s death, the continued vampiric slayings, and the opium swirling through her body, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for a girl who relies on facts and figures to know what’s real―or whether she can trust those closest to her.

What a great way to spend a crisp spring Saturday morning: fighting book banning.

With the talented @alisonpstevens and @carlaketnerauthor sending out more postcards to librarians across the state of Nebraska! Let kids have the freedom to read and see themselves in books. ❤️📚

@nttbfest was a blast! I should have taken more pictures 😫 but here are a few highlights. Meeting @fredtjoseph was truly wonderful; chatting with the very funny and sweet R. L. Stine @rl_stine1; meeting so many authors IRL after knowing them online, like @authorlylalee; one of three great panels, this one with @booksbystefany @taylorcassidyj; our amazing audience at the K-Pop panel with @elloecho @authorlylalee @susanleewrites @glamtart; receiving these sweet friendship book bracelets by @findangoh; gushing over this Fitzwilliam Darcy t-shirt with a lovely reader! And finally this…a reader brought an actual ancient ARC of my first book, Control, from 2013 for me to sign! Wow! Oh and also met a Star Wars High Republic fan (not pictured) because I have friends everywhere. 😉

I wish I’d had more pictures to share! Nevertheless it was so fantastic meeting so many bookish people and catching up with old friends. ❤️❤️❤️

I have made dumplings a lot! And it’s always a huge amount of prep work and time. This was definitely an easier way to do it with less cleanup and so very worth it because it was absolutely delicious! #dumplings #dumplinglasagna #cooking #foodstagram

What a lovely book club visit at the Engage Wellness Bookclub with @sydsbooked! We had a lively discussion on history, writing, and all things related to my first historical novel, A Beautiful Poison. And a great turnout given the sub-zero temperatures! 🥶I love meeting readers. So much fun! 😊@unmcengagewellness @iamunmc @nebraskamed

The author “yips” are a real thing. I’m always so nervous about making mistake when I signed books for readers! This one is definitely going to be someone’s gain! Hardcover copies of Cataclysm are extremely hard to find right now so consider this a little New Year’s gift with an asterisk??? #Starwars #swthr #thehighrepublic #starwarsfan #authorsofinstagram

On our last half day, we did a quick trip to the little Kimchi Museum and it was well worth it! It’s such an iconic part of the cuisine and I learned a lot! #Kimchi #seoul #korea #koreanfood

Back from Seoul! The two big reasons we went were

Back from Seoul! The two big reasons we went were because three out id the five in my family have never been to Korea, and my next YA book takes place in a summer language program like Yonsei University’s (I went there as did my middle kiddo!). So, I had some research to do. Fun research!

We had such a full week that I was frozen with indecision on how to share these pictures, so we’re going mostly by timeline.

Most of these pictures are from Hongdae, near Yonsei University (there is a nighttime scene in my book that takes place in Hongdae with the pink painted streets). We stayed nearby in the Yeonnam neighborhood where we had an Airbnb.

The food was great every day! The first night we went to a bbq place that was all about the pork belly and kimchi. And every time we went into a convenience store like GS25 or 7-11, there was always going to be a wall of meat on a stick 😆 I think we got convenience store snacks every day, the were so good! #korea #seoul #hongdae
