Taylor Jackson Books 5, 6, and 7 are back in print!

/

Surprise! I have very exciting news: THE IMMORTALS, SO CLOSE THE HAND OF DEATH, and WHERE ALL THE DEAD LIE, books 5-7 in my Lt. Taylor Jackson series, are now available in print again. All three titles are available in both trade paperback and hardcover. (I know how frustrating it can be to not have all the titles in a series in a single format, but I hope these options will make you very happy.)

And for my librarian and indie bookstore friends, great news — these titles are available through Ingram at a 55% discount with full returns! So please spread the word to your Taylor Jackson loving readers — their girl is back in town.

Now, it’s inevitable that you may ask — but J.T., when will you give us a NEW Taylor Jackson or Samantha Owens novel? I have the frustrating but honest answer is soon, but not yet. I promise you, though, one is in the works and as quickly as I can get it finished, I will let you know.

In the meantime, enjoy these glorious beauties! And many thanks to my longtime artist, the delightful Kim Killion, who rocked these designs!

Southern Festival of Books Nashville

/

Every October, Nashville has a stellar literary party, a weekend of major authors, lots of readers and a ton of books. And the best part? It's FREE!

The Southern Festival of Books, sponsored by Humanities Tennessee, is my favorite weekend of the year. All the Nashville authors get to strut their stuff (and trust me, there's a lot of us) but there's also major authors from around the world who attend. Two favorites of mine are going to be here this weekend, Audrey Niffenegger (I'm reading THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE and loving it) and Robert Goolrick, plus my dear friend Erica Spindler who is coming in Friday. I see a lot of good wine and girl time ahead. 

So come one, come all! I've got a panel on Saturday at 1:30 in the Old Supreme Court building with Erica and Libby Fisher Hellman, moderated by Gail Kerr, who has a lovely write up on the festival in THE TENNESSEAN this morning. I'll be wandering around the grounds, enjoying the amazing weather we have in store - 80 degrees, sunny and not a cloud in our cerulean October skies.

See the scheduled lineup here - and be sure to come by and say hi!
