2am at The Cat's Pajamas

[gallery]Good morning! I’ve been so excited to share this news! My first novel, 2 A.M. AT THE CAT’S PAJAMAS, will be published by Crown (Random House), August 2014! I am over the moon, the stars, the solar system, back to the moon, back to earth, where I sit, typing this to you.

2 A.M. AT THE CAT’S PAJAMAS follows a brassy little girl jazz-singer (and a bunch of other people) over the course of one fateful Christmas Eve Eve in Philadelphia. The first scene I wrote was dated October 17th, 2001.

(Thank you to Claudia Ballard for championing this book. And I know she’ll see this because she checks my website every day, thank you to my mom Helene, strongest person I know.)
