Hi! I know it’s been months since I wrote a newsletter. I have no good excuse, really. It’s just perfectionism keeping me from writing because of one tiny little detail or whatever. So here I am, all prodigal and everything.

Some of you may know that I had a book birthday this week, and I think it’s doing pretty well. I did a virtual event with Kate Elliott last night and had a brilliant time talking to her - mostly we geeked about worldbuilding. I’ve seen some great reviews for The Midnight Bargain so far, too.

If you would like to see me at a virtual book tour event, here’s my itinerary:

TOMORROW! Oct 17th - the Savoy bookshop! Details here: https://www.banksquarebooks.com/event/virtual-cl-polk-midnight-bargain-author-discussion

Oct 20th - Third Place Books, with Kat Howard! Reserve a spot: https://www.thirdplacebooks.com/event/live-zoom-cl-polk-conversation-kat-howard-midnight-bargain

Oct 21st - Old Firehouse Books, with Mary Robinette Kowal! This one should be great fun. All the information you need is here: https://www.oldfirehousebooks.com/event/cl-polk-conversation-mary-robinette-kowal-0

Oct 28th - Northshire Books, with Fran Wilde! We’ll be getting up to nonsense, and everything you need to know to join us is here: https://www.northshire.com/event/northshire-live-cl-polk-presents-midnight-bargain-0

I think that’s everything! I hope to see you around zoom sometime!
