My first book news for 2017!
I’m incredibly excited to share the final cover for The Fortune Teller.
Designed by LeeAnn Falciani
I cannot wait to hold the book in hand in June (about 5 months and 3 days away, but who’s counting… ;)) Many thanks to my team at Picador.
January 1 – The First Day in the new year, and so the journey begins.
In June my next novel, The Fortune Teller, is coming and before then I’m going to try and paint my own tarot deck in watercolor as a fun project. Sharing the first card here, The Fool, which marks the beginning of a journey in tarot. The Fool sets out without a path, with no expectations and an open heart.
Wishing you all full hearts in 2017 every step of the way.
I’m thrilled to be announcing the publication of my next novel, The Fortune Teller. The book will be coming out with Picador USA next year in June.
Here is the announcement in Publishers Marketplace:
Like The Memory Painter, the story is a romantic thriller that travels through history. A brief description:
While on assignment in Switzerland, an ancient manuscripts appraiser discovers a mysterious memoir written by a seer in the time of Cleopatra. As she begins to translate the story, she finds herself embroiled in a race to find the world’s first tarot deck.
To see more about the story, you can look at my Pinterest board I have created. I use Pinterest while I’m writing to find images that inspire me.
I’m so excited for this next book and look forward to sharing news as it comes!

Today The Memory Painter is out in paperback! It’s been a fun day checking in on social media. I really appreciate all the warm wishes and book love. My family celebrated tonight at a Mexican restaurant with margaritas (my request).
In July I’m doing two blog tours, one with TLC Book Tours and Historical Fiction Virtual Tours. And if you’re in the LA area, I’ll be doing a reading of The Memory Painter next Sunday at The Ripped Bodice bookstore at 4pm with Lady Jane’s Salon. Come and join us!
