Pull Out Those Cowboy Carter Boots

The August Lane Tour is Coming Soon!

is this real life?

Every author has dreams, and a book tour like this is definitely one of mine. Kennedy Ryan in Raleigh? Terah Shelton-Harris in St. Louis? Danielle Allen in KC? I may be too star-struck to talk about my book! Plus, I get to launch in my hometown at Wordsworth Books, which feels like the perfect way to kick off the celebration.

Several of these events have limited seating and require advance tickets. Event links are all listed below, so reserve your spot now! Trust me, you want to be in the room when we start talking about art, love, and country soul 🤠

As a reminder, if you preorder August Lane in any format (hardback, ebook, or audiobook), you'll receive a free songbook with all four complete songs I wrote for the novel, plus behind-the-scenes bonuses about the writing process. That includes purchasing a copy for one of the events above! Just upload proof of purchase at hachettebookgroup.com/preorder-august-lane. You can also order a signed copy at WordsWorth Books, which will come with an exclusive art print.

Hope to see you soon!
