Just got the amazing news that THE FALLEN FRUIT is a USA TODAY Bestselling book! Woo hoo! Thank you so much to everyone for your support. It means so much to me!

New book deal alert! THE MIDNIGHT BUS is a speculative historical novel set in 1961, following a group of Freedom Riders from Nashville to Birmingham as they face demons—both internal and external—on a surreal, soul-shaking journey.

Huge thanks to Tennessee State University's Library @tennstlibraries and Meaghanne for choosing #TheFallenFruit for their book club! Your support means the world! 💖

So happy for Jenn and the Storehouse Voices team!

@Tudorscribe Nice haul, Nancy! Wow!

Today's garden haul :)

Can’t wait to chat with Megan!

@jbakernyc Thanks, Jenn! 😍🥰

@FarrahRochon Thinking of you, Farrah. Good luck!

Waiting for my cousin to wake up so I can find out if I have a fence. The McDonald’s up the street lost its sign, and apparently there’s tons of flooding, and trees and utility poles that are down.

@LynnCahoon Thanks, Lynn! I appreciate it. :D ❤️

So exciting!!

@RuthieKnox Thank you so much! ❤️

Hi! My summer has been dominated by my housing crisis instead of my book release. My landlord sold my house and I have to move across the country because my family can’t secure housing here. Help us get to stability! gofund.me/ea9d74fa

I’m honored to see THE FALLEN FRUIT mentioned on @latimes Most Anticipated Fall Books! They said my book "is a heady mix of well-researched historical fiction...reminiscent of both Octavia Butler’s “Kindred” and “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” bit.ly/3XDEIwj
