It’s Labor Day weekend here in the United States! I hope you have a luxurious long weekend, friends.
Los Angelenos, if you’re around next week, Heather and I will be at Chevalier’s in Larchmont Village talking to Katharine McGee about her new book, American Royals, on Wednesday. (We’re here for all alternate universe royalty conversations!) While we’re on the topic, it has recently come to my attention that a lot of people do not know that we’re writing a sequel to The Royal We. WE ARE. It comes out next year at some time TBD! We still are writing it!
Here’s something to read, while you’re relaxing:
