This is a small NYC photo dump. We’re leaving this morning and I’m so glad we came. When we drive past Madison Square Garden today, Reel will no longer be on the billboard. It was a brief, miraculous moment I’m forever grateful my husband and I took the time to celebrate. I’m awful at celebrating milestones, so this was an amazing experience with good friends like @sarahmaclean , @nishawrites and @cdreiss, and meeting @lucyedenauthor for the first time! I’ve been working with @thehoneymagnoliaco for 2 years and @tiawithapen and I had never met IRL! You, Tia, have been so instrumental in Reel’s development and success. My gratitude is so deep and I’m glad we got to celebrate this together! At @catch with that #HitMe cake! And on Sunday getting to see a small group of incredible readers in Brooklyn was exciting, humbling and a great reminder of why I do this. Three of them traveled far - Michigan, Florida and Boston. I was so humbled they and the other readers came. Truly a highlight of my time here. Also sharing a couple of pics @kerryy.f and Lay sent me from the billboard. The outpouring of support this week has been humbling and affirming. Thank you sooo much! Now back to the grind to meet my deadline! 😜 Thank you again @amazonbooks for giving my book and #BlackRomance this beautiful space!
