One Week Till the Release of HOW TO WELCOME AN ALIEN!!!

Lots of exciting stuff happening around the release of my next book, HOW TO WELCOME AN ALIEN!

I was interviewed—twice! The first interview was by the always-lovely Barbara Bietz for Jewish Books for Kinds…and more!. You can find that interview here. And the one with Kylie Ora Lobell appeared in the Jewish Journal last week. You can read that one here.

Additionally, I got lots of help from my writing group friends (plus my pal Merri Ukraincik, who has a fantastic newsletter for Jewish creatives) to polish up a personal essay called “My UFOs.” It details my attraction to aliens, UFOs, and all things sci-fi. Even though I wrote it a while back, it also addresses many of my complaints from my last blog post. It went up on the Paper Brigade Daily blog by JBC yesterday. Go ahead and check it out if you haven’t yet.

And, finally, there’s another review out, this one from the Sydney Taylor Schmooze. Read that here.

Don’t forget to place my book on pre-order if you haven’t yet! It’s available on Bookshop, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. If you want to help me out, you can also ask your local library or bookstore to order it. And if you’ve already ordered the book, you should be getting your copy next week. When you do, I’d love it if you snapped a picture with your book and tagged me on your social media pages!

Kirkus Review Is Up!

Reviews in Kirkus can greatly influence people’s interest in a new title, particularly the interest of bookstore managers and librarians. Therefore, I was greatly relieved to see a postive review for HOW TO WELCOME AN ALIEN up on their site. If you want to read the review in full, you can find it here.

The Kirkus Review is up for my upcoming book!

There was another supposed alien sighting in Vegas a couple weeks back, so maybe that will increase sales, too. (My best friend called it an extraordinary marketing effort.) Remember: Preorders are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.

I’d love to get some feedback!

Glixman in a Fix has been available in the U.S. for a while now, and I’d love to get some feedback from readers!

I have had a lot of people tell me they have purchased the book, their schools’ library has ordered it, or that their children are reading it. A few students from my kids’ schools have run up to me after school to tell me they went to bed late the night before because they were up late reading Glixman.

An actual thank you note! ❤

And I even got a real, snail mail thank you note from Josh P. of Los Angeles! Continue reading
