Diana Adair

Loving this book. Bringing Daphne DuMaurier back into the present time. The stories travel to Venice, London, Crete, and more. She takes "unreliable narrator" to another level. @SimonBooks @StephenKing

"And yet to have claimed that a warm spring morning walking over earth carpeted with apple blossoms was somehow the same, substantively, spiritually, as a cold winter noon spent pruning, or a harvest evening heavy with the smell of juice and hay..." (Daniel Mason's North Woods)

I don't usually post about movies, but Sentimental Value combines a stunning visual and literary aesthetic. Here's the opening about the family house.

Thank you @AuthorsGuild @__eshani @rgay @trellislit for a great discussion about the path to publication for the novel Ravishing. Loved your take on genre and multi-genre! Can't wait to read this book!

Thank you @cityartssf for the amazing discussion with Salman Rushdie who said "The combination of imagination and history is where literature happens" @SalmanRushdie

Thank you @JudithOrloffMD "When you've done all you can, you must let go and surrender to what is meant to be. Otherwise, you just end up torturing yourself and getting nowhere."

Amazing performance about the real women from history and the intense fight for suffrage in the 1900s! Enjoyed Suffs @broadwaysf bringing this story to life

Thank you @Keplers for another literary evening with Elaine Castillo and John Freeman, discussing California literature. We covered Tommy Pico, Natalie Diaz, Jaime Cortez and more for John's new book California Rewritten heydaybooks.com/catalog/califo…

Historical fiction about a real woman from the 16th century, I'm hooked. @penguinrandom penguinrandomhouse.com/books/738056/i…

There are many writers who also work in tech like me. We can still be shocked. Anthropic used pirated digital versions of millions of books and fed them into their LLMs. Look up your favorite authors by name, I just did. …cure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

Yes! @StephenKing @GuardianBooks Stephen King on Daphne Du Maurier's talent and new collection theguardian.com/books/2025/sep…

Loving this book about a woman war correspondent, a fictional character dropped into real history. I got to hear Isabel Allende speak about the book, thank you @JCCSF @mf3lix

Thanks to @Keplers for the great night discussing new books about Trans elders and Trans youth. Caro said: "Writing begins as a form of deep listening." And Nico's done 110 book events this year! @caroderobertis @Nico_Lang

Two writers that I admire had corporate careers before becoming novelists. Mohsin Hamid was a lawyer who worked in corporate law to pay off his loans, then at McKinsey. Amor Towles worked in finance as a Wall Street banker in NYC for more than 20 years. @amortowles

Still thinking about this poem "How to See Deer" from our workshop on nature poems. Excerpt: "You’ve learned by now / to wait without waiting" Thank you Professor Didi! @didijacksonpoet poets.org/poem/how-see-d…

Welcome to team sunshine! I loved Diana's dramatized historical fiction centering Charmaine London from the moment it landed in my queries. Like many powerful women, Charmaine was bold and enigmatic and got over shadowed by her husband's success, Diana brings that story to light!

@REstepLit I'm so excited to work with you! This is such a big milestone.

Am I allowed to pick favorites? @napawriters Victoria Chang and Mitchell Jackson duet! She read her poems, he read his new work. Oh professors! Can I go back to college for more please? @VChangPoet @MitchSJackson

Yes! Ode to a laundromat with a nod to everyone's favorite Buddhist teacher @JackKornfield Thank you @BFdeB The laundromat as sacred communal space and "locker-room-like looking." From Best American Poetry 2024.

Whaat?! Every book should have a playlist! Thank you @silviamg open.spotify.com/playlist/4Aldj…
