Ask Lisa Genova! discussion

Hi Lisa,
Thanks so much for your amazing books. A bunch of my friends and I have read both of the books. We can't decide which one we like best!

I was wondering if you are currently working on a new book. Are you? I know you must be a very busy lady, but I cannot wait for a new one! I am a nurse and I love getting a perspective from the patient's point of view.

Thanks for all your hard work!
Kelli Newcom

Hi Kelli,

Thanks so much for reading both books, for your kind words, and for taking the time to post here!

I'm writing my third book, LOVE ANTHONY, now. It's about a boy with autism, his mother, and another woman who becomes connected to them. I'm on chapter 7, still writing in Starbucks (I have 3 kids--11 years, 3 years, and my baby turned 1 today--the only way I can write uninterrupted is to get out of the house!). If you're on Facebook, I post often about the book's progress--would love to see you there! www.facebook.com/authorlisagenova. There's also some information about the book in progress at www.lisagenova.com.

I believe LOVE ANTHONY will be coming out in January 2013--another winter book tour!

Thanks again!

I am so ready to read the book LOVE ANTHONY!

Is it possible for you tell us the places of your tour? and if so, are you coming Canada?

Hi Sara,

I'll be giving 7 different cities in Canada in October--check out where and when at www.lisagenova.com on the APPEARANCES page.

Thanks and Best,
Lisa
