Helen Simonson

@rachkmc Is that with this Helen Simonson? Well that would be way more exciting than the butter pies for which I always love coming to Canada!

i was just asked to do an in person event w/ Helen Simonson! details forthcoming shortly but I love her books SO much so i have been beaming all day

@angryalgonquin Saw someone else leaving for ‘blue sky‘ and feared for his state of mind. Glad to find it’s a social media thing! Send a code to my Facebook account please!

Leaving Twitter. Find me on Instagram and Facebook (let’s see if that Threads thing ever gets going too!). I try to love and understand everyone but I can‘t hang out with Elon and his cartoon Nazi friends anymore.

Me too Ron. See you on Insta, Facebook and Threads.

@BCDreyer Love your posts. Leaving Twitter. See you on Instagram and Facebook I hope.

I know it feels shallow to be worrying about trees right now but it seems like a metaphor for a merciless world. We have all lost our minds… theguardian.com/science/2023/n…

This does not really count as ‘gift wrap’ folks. I’d pay extra for fancy. Or maybe just a ribbon and store branded sticker? Bricks and mortar independent shops - we support you, but give us back some love. Sigh!

@ajdewerd @AlcovePress @crookedlanebks @kate_mckean @holly_ingraham Congrats Andrea. So happy for you.

Officially official. Very proud to announce my debut novel What We Sacrifice for Magic will be out next September from @AlcovePress, part of @crookedlanebks. Huge thanks to @kate_mckean and @holly_ingraham for their partnership 🎉🎉

PLEASE feel free to supervise what your children read but it’s a free country so please don’t take the freedom of books from others. Free libraries are the very soul of civilization. No kid was ever harmed by reading a book. This is insanity. @nytimes. nytimes.com/2023/09/21/boo…

Tweeting this because a Conservative MP used the word ‘resile’ which is a completely new word to me. Happy days! Not that it makes losing the planet any easier! theguardian.com/environment/20…

‘Sigh…no Shakespeare for your schools then, @GregAbbott_TX ?? No Lolita, no Handmaids’ Tale, no Beloved? No written sex…just everything on TV, video and internet? Oh, and guns…shelf-awareness.com/theshelf/2023-…

@atlrml @randomhouse Sorry it took me so long, Rhani. My usual slow and reflective style plus Covid and so on...

My new novel, out May 2024, just went live for preorders through your local bookshop and all internet sources. Thanks ⁦⁦@randomhouse⁩ for the great cover!

Can’t wait to see Enright in person at Brooklyn’s @Center4Fiction on Sep 27th. I’m a total fan!

@Simonsonhelen thank you. I am reading aloud Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand to my mom (87 years old, practically a child) these days, and every time I lift my eyes from the pages you have written, I see her smile. And they are priceless memories that I will cherish forever.

Fool me once. Was not fooled by this menu of jar food in Toulouse airport. Hubby says baby food jars were a diet fad inthe seventies! What’s with the jars, France?

@coastalwrite Collioure. Fishing village visited by Picasso and Matisse. Beyond picturesque!

@Simonsonhelen ou est vous situé ? (rusty French..) C'est belle..

When you think your French is better than it is -again! Sorta missed the word ‘jar’ when ordering fancy room service snacks. Now eating cold soup but the view is amazing.

Wishing I had a tower to write in!!!

Lahaina is our Maui place. Devastating to see it gone. All we can do now as visitors is donate and stay away. Heartbreaking.
