SLOW DANCE -- NEW BOOK, NEW TOUR

I’m going on tour this summer, to celebrate my new novel, SLOW DANCE, and I hope you’ll come out and say hello!

Slow Dance is my first novel for adults — and my first novel set in the real world — since Landline. (I can hardly believe this is true. I still think of myself as a contemporary writer, but I’ve spent the last ten years with Simon and Baz …) (It was a good ten years 💛 )

Slow Dance is set

Rainbow answered Priyanka Udernani's question: Will there be a sequel to Landline? Or the story from Neal's POV? This is a really interesting question. I don't know that I could sell a Landline sequel to a publisher ... But I've thought that it would be interesting to tell a story from Neal's POV set in the future.
