We had the best time!
What better way to spend a rainy afternoon, inside the coziest of bookstores with a roomful of readers?

Hi friends,
It was a full house at Poe and Company Bookstore for the launch party for THE FLORENTINE ENTANGLEMENT! I’m so grateful to owner Kate Seng, Kara Miller and the team who had every base covered, and to all of you who braved the rain to hear our discussion of my newest book. Deep thanks to emcee and interviewer, my friend Brad Marsh, partner at Marsh Atkinson & Brantley who loves history as much as I do—and who managed, amid the many questions—NOT to give any plot lines away!

It’s been a good first week for FLORENTINE—with sales meriting Top New Release and #1 Seller badges from Amazon. The Audiobook is now available through Audible as well—produced by the #1 audiobook producer in our house. You can hear a sample on my website. Let me know what you think.

If you’re interested in more context for this novel, I’ve posted a new blog with lists of Cold War-era books—fiction and non-fiction—films, and TV programs. As soon as you finish reading my book, you can turn to these! And email me if you have other titles to add.

We’ve got more events planned and will send out details as soon as they’re finalized. Book club dates are beginning to fill up so if you’re interested, please use this form to contact us.

I hope during these colder months, you find lots of time to curl up and read, perhaps even taking a moment to parse through the themes I explore in THE FLORENTINE ENTANGLEMENT—loyalty and betrayal and what, exactly, it means to live an honorable life. Afterwards, I’d be grateful if you take a minute to rate my book so others can find it. You’ll find the links below.

May all of us find the peace we need in the new year.

Pam
