At the launch for The Lost Husband, I read a short scene from the book, and then I also read an essay that I wrote a while back for an amazing project called The Prime Book. It’s a book of gorgeous, sumptuous pictures by the photographer Peter Freed that aims to redefine what it means […]
Here’s Katherine telling the quick story—at a luncheon, ages ago—of how she wrote her first novel:
I am lucky in a thousand ways this summer. And one of them is that I get to help host a Secret Mission for the Dream Lab at Mondo Beyondo. Here’s what it is: My friends at Mondo Beyondo want to inspire folks to create guerilla goodness in the world–acts of kindness or love that help […]
I’ve just made a new trailer for Get Lucky that tries to feel a little bit like the book.
